Orkney 2

,walk long way back to road and take bus to Stromness, but not impressed and head back to hostel.
Disappointed about Maeshowe and the fact there is no public transport to Skara Brae!
In the hostel talk to a woman staying there. She tells me the idea is you get off the bus at the visitor centre where you then ride to Maeshowe on a minibus with a guide who unlocks the grate, let's you in, and tells you all about the site. Decide to give it another go in the morning.
All goes as explained. 👍 No photos allowed inside though..
On the minibus I hear what looks like another tour operator mention Skara Brae. Later I ask our guide in a semi loud voice if there is any public transport to Skara Brae. We're going there says the other man, we'll give you a lift 👍
Gives me a lift via ring of Dogmar again.Read more
