Stromness, Orkney Islands

Stromness - Orkney Islands, UK

Somehow even though I'd written it, I lost the text for this post!  I'll update when possible in the future.  In a nutshell, we had a great time in Stromness, although a little longer than expected.  A little medical issue with Leah and strong winds prevented a departure for more than a week.  The area is steeped in history and archaeology and we had fun learning about it.  We thank the Stromness Harbourmaster, Bob, for all his help and all the friendly people in the town.

We're number 23 in the Blue Planet Odyssey, ready to go!

Picnic during our 16 mile bike ride.  Zoe did the whole thing by herself, very proud of her.
