Missed the bus again I gave up on staying in Barra and booked the hotel in Lochboisdale. I was told to get the bus at 9:35. But that was the school timetable, and it departed 5 minutes earlier. When I was vacantly sitting on a rock, a car came and the guy asked me if I had missed the bus to the ferry. He gave me a lift. However, when we arrived at the pier the ferry has just embarked!
