We survived the 12-plus hour crossing from Aberdeen to Lerwick with no seasickness, but as anticipated it was rough. At one point, we were sliding up and down in our beds, alternately touching toes to the foot then heads to the top. It felt like being a character in a Roadrunner cartoon. But very thankful to have maintained our sea legs with no dizziness.
Spent the last day and a half touring and enjoying these windswept isles. It’s not terribly cold, but the wind is incredible, it would take the skin off your nose. They warn us not to walk “close to the edges” as we are always near the sea, and we can see why. People with small children keep a tight grip, as otherwise they can be blown onto the roads.
The scenery is beautiful, and some of it would be very familiar to you if you have watched the TV series Shetland. Visited a variety of scenic spots, from Clickimin Broch, a 2,000-year-old fort, to the [pretend] home of TV detective Jimmy Perez in Lerwick.
And to close things off, I don’t know how many of you do the daily Wordle, but yesterday I decided to start with a Shetland word, and then another Shetland word, and I got it in 3. How funny is this? It sums up our vacation in 5 letters! 😂
Beautiful pictures. And great work with the Wordle. That one defeated me.
Hard to imagine being tossed about in bed like that. Glad you didn’t get sick. Fishy took me the full 6 tries – well done.
