Sandwick, Unst

Segundo día en Shetland y luego de una serie de buses y ferris llegué a Unst, isla donde se encuentra el punto mas norte del Reino Unido pero que no pude visitar por falta de tiempo. Solo visité la parte sur de la isla. Primero tomé el bus desde el terminal del ferry hasta Uyeasound. Desde ahí caminé hasta el castillo de Muness y en el camino vi una piedra de pie. Luego visité la playa de Sandwick cuyas aguas color turquesa se pueden ver en esta foto. Alrededor de esta área es posible encontrar asentamientos vikingos. El paisaje en esta región está dominado por pasto, ovejas y ponis de Shetland, y vistas de las islas vecinas. Cuando visité la isla no habían turistas, así que es buen lugar para caminar solo. En la vuelta visité unas ruinas de una casa vikinga, cerca del terminal del ferry, y luego retorné a Lerwick.

Sandwick, Unst

Second day in Shetland and I took a series of buses and ferries to reach the island of Unst, place of the northern most point in the UK but I didn’t have enough time to visit it. Instead, I visited the south part of the island. First, I took the bus from the ferry port to Uyeasound. From there I walked to Muness castle and in the way I saw a standing stone. Then, I visited the Sandwick beach whose turquoise water can be seen in this picture. Around the area you can find viking times settlements. The landscape in the region is dominated by green grass, sheep and Shetland ponies, and views of the other islands. By the time I visited there weren’t any tourists, so it’s a good place for walking alone. On the walk back and near the ferry port, I visited some viking longhouse ruins, and then returned to Lerwick.
