Tell us all about your honeymoon!
Our honeymoon was revised many times due to the travel restrictions. We ended up on a road trip around the inner and Outer Hebrides as well as the Isle of Skye. We climbed mountains, swam in the sea and enjoyed the remote landscapes for 3 beautiful weeks, staying in our trusty camper.
