ORKNEY ISLANDS KIRKWALL AND STORNAWAY HEBRIDES

---

Hello everyone

We left Germany and our next stop was Orkney islands,when we docked we went on coach trip around the island.

We saw Standing stones of Stenness is a Neolithic Monument,five miles north east of Stromness on the mainland of Orkney.

We visited Stromness another small island where Dr John Rae Arctic explorer was born 1813 to 1893.we have had lovely days of sun

So we hope that will continue for us all.

We also visited an Italian chapel it is a highly ornate Catholic chapel,it was built during world war 2 by Italian prisoners of war.

It was constructed with limited materials,it’s very beautiful inside.

Our next stop is STORNAWAY in the Hebrides lovely Town ,very old buildings,Bagpipes were played for us,we spied a good coffee shop

As the coffee for me on boat is not my style.everyone was so friendly.

Kevins pictures tell the story

We have Tommorrow at sea and the next stop is Iceland

Love

KS
