Our trip to Unst, Viking Island

We loved our first trip on a car ferry!  It was so exciting to drive aboard.  Then we got to watch from the deck and there was even a playroom in the passenger lounge.  To get to the outlying island of Unst we took a ferry to the closer island, Yell.  Then we drove across Yell, and took another ferry to Unst.  


We made it!  Here is a reconstructed Viking Longhouse.  The locals on Unst are doing major excavations and projects to discover more about the vikings who lived here.


We had fun playing on this replica of a viking ship.  The kids were very attracted to the role of vikings if mom and dad could be made their slaves.


But even a viking can have a hard time, if he's three!  "I wanted a big oar!"
