Lerwick

And so to our last port of call, Lerwick

I was helping on an early excursion so needed to be at the meeting point for 08.00. Luckily the clocks were put back to UK time overnight and so I had had an extra hour sleep.

Usually we meet for the excursions just off the ship where the coaches are parked and waiting for us. Here, we are berthed outside the harbour and need a tender to take us back and to from the ship. So at least the meeting point is on the ship.

The excursion took us to Sandsayr Pier where we boarded a small boat for a short cruise across to the island of Mousa

I was back in time for lunch (nachos, one of my favourite things) and then got to work on the preparations for tomorrow’s final beginners bridge lesson. I’m hoping to actually get the group playing bridge in earnest which will be a major achievement for us all.

Tonight is the last formal evening so we got dressed up a bit

We’re going to watch the magician again and have a country and western sing-a-long in the Piano Bar – a bar I’ve discovered a bit late on this cruise.

We are at sea all day Thursday. So we will be hard at work with the last set of bridge sessions. And I have a jigsaw to finish.

It’s been a good cruise and we have been very lucky with the weather. Back to reality when we get home and back to trying to sell the house!
