61. Day 29 in Shetland: Le Petit Cafe, Hermaness Visit II
The day started in Uyeasound, where we went to pick up Mila for an outing to Hermaness and her first puffins. Got a few more photos of the peerie French cafe and booo-tique! Not just yummy French foods for sale via Honesty Box, but rocks, beverages, and a little garden as well.
Could there be a better place for a brief repast? Looking out on the little island of Uyea. Rabbit Season! No, Duck Season!Why on earth didn’t I buy some of these??or THESE?Papa Fergus’s little potato garden.A welcoming message!A well-stocked grocerie.First puffin o’ the day!

It was a wonderful day with David and Mila and ALL the birds and sheeps. It was a gorgeous, if windy, day. Back at the croft, we started gathering our stuff for departure on the Northlink Ferry in 48 hours. But before that: one more day of adventuring!
