north, south, east, west

The two largest islands in the Faroe Islands are Streymoy and Eysturoy. Each stretches way to the north, and then to the south. Each is defined by the fjords that border their east and west sides.

We spent a day driving up, across, down, back up, over and over on both islands.

We even detoured to Torshavn on Streymoy, to buy stamps at the post office since it would be closed the next day for Flag Day.

A surreal sunrise to begin the day.

Departure was before coffee shops and bakeries opened, which led to my barista talent in a small grocery store.

Then we were off on an adventure!

Every curve brought beauty.

And wonder.

And sheep of course.

Small towns find shelter in the curves

Narrow roads that seem to go on forever.

And fields turning green as Spring is upon the Faroes.

The vastness.

The vistas!!

I walked up this “trail”. A high point?

Oh, and more of these.

An invitation to continue on…

There is much lolling

Water falls are everywhere!

So are churches.

Waters of the fjords come in different shades of color.

And tunnels. Always tunnels.

From sunrise to sunset. A glory-filled day.

It was a great adventure. It was colď. It was blustery. It was the Faroe Islands!
