The ferry across to the Orkneys was interesting. The sea was quite calm and we went by the Old Man of Hoy. There were plenty of sea birds. Then the Town came in sight.
The sun was shining. We were full of anticipation. The Orkneys was a major Neolithic site. It was like the centre of Europe – a metropolis of ancient commerce and religion. We wanted to see the sights and the sites.
The Orkneys look amazing! I have learnt so much about them over the last few months I really want to see them someday!
I found them really interesting. But I think you have to be lucky with the weather.
Yeah I heard it gets crazy windy and rainy sometimes!
That’s what the locals told me. There’s not much to break the wind.
