Exploring the Faroe Islands
Tuesday 30 August 2011. An early breakfast as pick-up for the tour was at 0800hrs. It transpired that there were four taking the tour so a car and driver had been arranged for the day trip to the north islands. The other couple were staying at a nearby hotel and after we had collected them our driver, Ossur, announced in his heavily accented broken English that we would be taking the mountain route on the outward journey and the lower on the return.

It is a fair morning, about 60% cloud cover with a biting wind, up on the ...
Sheep
