Sat July 5

Today we woke up and Jan suggested that we go quickly to Eshaness since it was supposed to rain the rest of the day and tomorrow. So we got ready and headed out in Paul's car. We didn't take time to have breakfast...just took off for the amazing cliffs on the west side of Shetland. Here are the photos:

This photo is actually before we got to Eshaness...it's the drongs.


This one is called "drinking horse" or something like that.


Here is Sara as we're walking to the cliffs of Eshaness:













Check out the people on the large cliff...this gives you an idea of size.





We were close to the edge, but not too close.









































We had great timing today...so glad we didn't stop for breakfast yet. This is what pulled up in the parking area as we were leaving:


Then this happened...so we were glad to just get away from there!





We saw wild Shetland ponies on the way back.


When we stopped for them they came right up to the car windows. This one was on my side. As he started to stick his head in the window, I quickly closed the window, as they can bite...especially when they are mad that you don't have food for them!


Here's the one on Sara's side:


We stopped for breakfast in Braewick. Here was the view as we drank tea and had breakfast:



We worked in the charity shop today. Not much traffic but one family bought 55 pounds worth of things...so Jan was very pleased
sara baked a corgette cake

Sara went upstairs to the kitchen a bit early to bake their infamous recipe of courgette (zuchinni) cake. It was amazing!
