| Mark trying to spot the Eclipse |
A smooth crossing from Norway to Shetland and tendering to shore using the lifeboats in Lerwick, was the order of the day. We ignored the advice to wear warm clothes and we soon realised our mistake as there was a cold breeze on shore. Fortunately Mark was on a later tender and was able to bring us some fleeces. However the sun came out by midday and it was soon warm again. We walked around to Knab Head, wild life spotting and saw seals just off shore and masses of wild flowers. Back in Lerwick we visited the Charlotte Fort, not a lot to see, then shared some great takeaway fish and chips from Harrys chippy.
We were back on board via tender in time for a doze on the sunny balcony before cocktails and dinner in Sonata after a really nice day on shore.
I booked a hotel in Dublin with TripAdvisor for our final night using the Shetlands 4G before we left Lerwick.
