This morning we took a coach from Unst down to Lerwick, on the Shetlandic "mainland," which is what they call the big island. It was about 2 1/2 hours door to door, including two ferry rides and a bus ride on roads that are somewhat less than direct. In Lerwick I had what tasted like the best fish and chips of my life, then we went to the Shetland Museum before we could check into our rooms at the next place, a small B & B called the Glen Orchy House. The Museum was very new and they had clearly invested a lot of money into it.
Early breakfast tomorrow then an afternoon flight to Edinburgh for the last three concentrated academic days of the trip - followed by a free day Friday in Edinburgh, Saturday in York (England), and Sunday/Monday in London before we fly home Tuesday.
