Lerwick, it's beautiful!

On Thursday we docked at Lerwick, which is on the Shetland Islands in Scotland.  



It’s a little town that could serve as a movie set…one day a year, because that’s as good as the weather gets.  And we nailed it timing wise.  All we heard around the village was how fantastic the day was—about 50 degrees and sunny on June 5. 

Our walking tour guide Linda was sweet as can be.  We wanted to pinch her “Scottish” cheeks.  She even read a poem in her native Lerwick brogue, which shouldn’t be confused with the Scottish dialect (so trailer park).  

Everybody on the ship wanted to move here—if only it weren’t for the 364 days of crappy weather.  Nonetheless, lovely people and solid fish and chips made for a great experience.  Book you ticket now!
