Kirkwall, Orkney Islands, is reckoned by some to be the Cruise Capital of the UK because it has the most number of cruise ship calls which are not embarkations. TSH and Diva cancelled their morning excursion because there did not seem to be any point in a scenic tour engulfed in the haar which had followed them from Aberdeen. Instead, they took the shuttle bus into the centre of Kirkwall and took an unguided walking tour. TSH bought some shoelaces.
Whilst TSH and Diva were having elevenses in the Panorama
lounge, the Captain walked by. He acknowledged them and said he would work on
keeping good weather and smooth seas.
The desserts at lunch time are always very beautiful but not
appealing to Diva because they are smothered in cream, which she does not like.
On this occasion they offered an excellent Scottish option – Ecclefechan cake –
which tasted like a rich fruit cake.
The evening show featured Mark Haslam, a magician originally
from the Lake District but who now works in USA. His card tricks were excellent
and quite baffling.
