Gav 1,708 Posted July 30, 2008 Report Share Posted July 30, 2008 I just thought I would share a few photos of our recent holiday to Orkney. Some times the pictures have trouble loading for some reason, if you can’t see the pictures try hitting F5 to refresh the page. Firstly the accommodation was a bit basic. The wife banished us to the dungeon. We then found the local church, I bet there are some characters attend this one. I got a good picture of the wife, quite fitting I thought The kids got to grips with a few locals. I think it was a bit too much for the little ones. The dogs watched the sun go down. Then the wife got revenge and got a picture of me. I think the dogs enjoyed just getting home. Thanks for looking, we had a great time Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Gav 1,708 Posted August 1, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 1, 2008 Thanks everyone for all your kind comments. Orkney is really a great place and we have promised ourselves to go back in five years time. There is so much going on there you would be pushed at seeing it all in a week. The neolithic tombs, monuments etc are a joy to visit and the local people are so friendly, it really is a great place to visit. There is so much archaeology going on there at the moment, you can see and keep updated Here Thanks again folks for your interest Quote Link to post Share on other sites
