We made landfall in Orkney a few days earlier than planned Time and weather didn't allow us to leave port again, so we all took the opportunity to explore the island before flying to our respective home countries.I expected Orkney's landscapes to be spectacular, and boy did it deliver! We started exploring Orkney on a rainy day, and visited the Highland Park Distillery.

Orkney is so beautiful, it is almost too much to handle!
