On a Boat: Orkney

Since leaving London Monday, we’ve been mostly out to sea. Yesterday we made our first landfall in the Orkney town of Kirkwall. We first took a bus tour of Scapa Flow, two stone circles, Skara Brae, and Skaill house. After the bus tour, Shelly and I went into Kirkwall to have a walk about. There we toured the Orkney Wireless Museum, St. Magnus Cathedral, Orkney Museum, Bishop’s Castle, and Earl’s Castle and had a bite for lunch before returning to the ship for departure. Currently we’re enroute to Heimaey, a small island off the southern coast of Iceland, where we are scheduled to arrive early tomorrow morning. While I do have internet access here on board the ship it is slow and expensive, so I probably won’t be able to upload any additional pictures until we’re back on land in Paris.
