Kirkwall day off

After leisurely breakfast at B&B I took my bike to cycle shop for a new tube in rear tire -- in Glasgow they had reused the patched tune, not replaced it as I asked. Pressure had dropped 25 pounds in 3 days, compared to only 5 in front tire, so I really didn't want that hassle. Walked the town some more, to Orkney museum, library, charity shops for their cheap books (30p for paperback), then back to B&B for lunch, reading, resting.

Leg muscles very tight, as I adjust to the pedestrian life.  Rain showers and high winds late afternoon, rainbows when I walk to my now favorite bar (the Bothy bar on Mounthoolies Lane) for local beer Scapa Special pale ale and veggie lasagna.
