Having ticked off all the Orkney Islands Germinal CCXXIV places, we thought we'd just be more "touristy" and also see if we could advance our ferry ticket by 24 hours. Turns out the ferry we are booked on only calls at Kirkwall every other day, so that put the stop on that idea.
Guy always wants to wild water swim at every opportunity but the weather had taken a turn for the worse so we looked for indoor entertainment. We turned up at the Tomb of the Otters, but the tomb and accompanying exhibition were closed. The restaurant next door was open though, so we chowed down on locally caught seafood which was delicious.
By the time that feast had settled, the sun was just about peeking through the murk, so off we went to the beach.
The Orkneys are a historian's Christmas and Easter combined, especially if you are interested in prerecorded ancient historical sites. We found a few very impressive stones without really trying.
