Day 6; June the 9th

Today I've got kitchen- and cleaning duties.
Martin is mainly helping Flo in the kitchen, and I am to do all the dishes, setting the table, serving and cleaning, including the ablution block.
Off course we are exited about our door being discovered, but nobody seems to do so.

After lunch I am allowed to help rebuild the wall around the manse under supervision of Brian, one of the "wallers". Brian and Greg are appointed to rebuild the walls on St. Kilda according to the way the St. Kildans did. Dry stone walling without mortal is making one big jigsaw puzzle in which you need to find the best fitting stones to build up the walls and filling them with the best fitting stones to make as little holes as possible.

I highly respect these guys and their speciality; I felt pretty clumsy, but it is fun to do.


After lunch I'm back in the kitchen.
There is a group of tourists on the island, and they are getting a small guided tour by the warden, who leads them to the gun and ammunition store. But still we get no comment from any of the tourists or Paul the warden. Didn't they see our beautiful piece of artwork?
