Shetland and Orkney Grand tour Day 4

We began our first day of Orkney.  We put all the luggage at store and went to town on foot.  We had a look around St Magnus Cathedral.  What stood out was the tomb stones in the cathedral mostly included imagery of scull and bones, weird!

The Orkney Museum was small but it was very comprehensive.  Sarah is into the prehistoric bits, and I am into Vikings and medieval.  I made a Viking rubbing to declare my love in Runes.

 

We stopped at the bakeries and got some local lunch and headed to Westray.

We took the shuttle to town and got a hire bike to go to Papa Westray.   It started raining just as we set sail, and rained the whole time we were there!

We had seafood platter and monk fish for dinner, they were nice and fresh.  The taste was reinforced by the image of clean water surrounding here!  I cannot wait to have more seafood this trip!
