Kirkwall Part 2

 

We got a beautiful send off.  A piper piped, as they do.  Then the dancers danced.  It was great.                                               small piper

The Orkneys use all kinds of alternative energy sources.  They have wind turbans and hydroelectric and, wave generators.  I never saw that before

And there was a castle and lighthouse that we saw as we sailed out.

  1. Happy Birthday, Duane ! Not sure if you are one day ahead, so I'm sending this on June 13 my time, just in case.

    Funny thing - I looked at the first picture and thought, "why are they wearing kilts in Iceland?" LOL
