All in a day at Lerwick

We went out at about lunchtime for a stroll into Lerwick,  the weather slowly improving as we made our way around the southern headland known as The Knab and back towards the harbour.  As we started heading north again we were taken back somewhat to see looming above the rooftops a huge cruise ship. It was the 90,000 ton Brilliance of the Seas making a short stop-over in Lerwick.  As we got nearer the harbour, we started to come across dozens of tourists of varying nationality all wandering about and clicking away with their cameras.

Ok I guess if you like that sort of thing...personally we prefer the comfort of a good motorhome!

As much go faster gear as you would expect to get on any top of the range racing dinghy!

Now that's not something you would expect to see very often

By about 7pm  the day had turned into the most lovely Shetland evening, the sun shining through and that quiet and stillness that you only can get in Shetland, even in the capital of Lerwick.
