August 28 - Day 32 More Adventures in Shetland

The next morning we packed our bags, loaded the car and went to the pier and hopped on a boat to take a ride around the Isle of Noss...

The little beach in Lerwich that we happened upon our first night in town - a view from the water...

The edge of Lerwick...there is a path I ran on that wraps around the edge...

...and the cemetery...

...looking back...

We saw dolphins...

See?

Bressay Lighthouse (also built by the Stevenson family) - or "Bressa Light" on Bressay Island

After our wonderful tour of Noss, we went to the newly renovated Lerwick Museum for lunch and to have a look at Howard Towll's (that's Ranger Howard to you) art exhibit. I didn't take any pictures but here are a few I downloaded from his website (http://www.howardtowll.com/)
