Hello there from Lerwick 🙋‍♂️🙋after a sunny day at sea with a pool brunch 😋we were greeted with fog 🌫️in Lerwick today 😊after the identity check and tendering 🚤 we took the bus 🚌 to Sandwick, where we boarded a ferry ☺️this took us to the island of Mousa, it started to drizzle 🌧️but when we arrived it stopped, but we were blown through quite a bit 💨a seal 🦭watched us from the water 😁now we went to the Broch of Mousa, it was built before the turn of the millennium 😌we climbed very narrow steps to the top 🙂we continued hiking on the island, where there were lots of sheep and cormorants 🐦 Along the coast, we returned to the ferry ⛴️, then stopped to greet the Shetland ponies 👋 that was soooo sweet, they came running up and jumped for joy and let us pet them for a bit 👍 a little adventure 🤩 the GORCH FOCK is in Lerwick, so we were able to check out the training ship 👍 there was another shower 😉 Sending you lots of love 🙋‍♂️🙋
