Itinerary description

|
Show original
We drew the trip we made in October 2009.
Without doubt one of the best stages of this trip. We hardly met people and we breathed a very pure air.
We stayed in Kirkwall and rented a car to surround the island.
The experience of driving on the left was a bit shocking at first, but you get used to it soon.
For the small thing that is the island it has a lot of spectacular places. We would not know which one to stay with, but if we have to highlight one that is "Yesnabi". There you can enjoy the sound of the sea crashing against the rocks while you walk along the edge of a cliff.
