Day 5
Accommodations: M/V Corinthian Breakfast: Onboard in the ship’s dining room beginning around 6am. Morning: After breakfast around 9am, we'll drive about 30 minutes via motorcoach to experience everyday life in the remote Orkney Islands during NEW A Day in the Life of a working sheep farm. Upon arrival, we'll meet the farm owner and his wife and begin our discoveries by helping feed the sheep. Then, we'll enjoy a demonstration on the whistle commands used by farmers to train the sheepdogs to herd the flock, and perhaps you'll try your own hand at this technique. You can also take a walk around the land to observe the grazing sheep. Following our discoveries outside, we'll head into the farmer's home and help his wife prepare lunch. Lunch: Enjoy a lunch of regional specialties with the farmer and his family. We'll have the opportunity to get to know our gracious hosts more intimately and learn about what life is like for a farmer in Scotland's remote Hebrides. Afternoon: After lunch, we'll drive about 30 minutes back to our ship, where you'll have the remainder of the afternoon free for your own discoveries—ask your Trip Experience Leader for recommendations. Perhaps you’ll enjoy a round of golf at Stromness Golf Club or a visit to the Stromness Museum, where you can explore artifacts from World War I and learn about the area’s connection to Canada. Our small group will reconvene in the ship's lounge around 6:30pm where your Trip Experience Leader will lead a Port Talk on the Isle of Lewis. Dinner: Enjoy dinner onboard in the ship’s dining room around 7:15pm. Evening: You have the freedom to spend the rest of your evening as you wish. Perhaps you’ll enjoy a nightcap at the bar or relax in the lounge. |
