Every morning in the Faroe Islands we woke up to a stunning sunrise over Tórshavn, the capital city (if you can call a 3-traffic-light town a ‘city’). The view from the breakfast room at Hotel Føroyar is hard to beat.

Faroe Islands: the expedition
Hey look, a post by Scott!
As part of our trip to the Faroe Islands, we were treated to a one-day nature excursion run by CoastZone North Atlantic. When we got up that morning we had no idea what to expect. The first hint that it would be more than a simple hike came when one of our travel companions was told that her boots were inadequate and she was offered a pair to borrow.
Our head guide, Eyðun, had worked for several years as police officer in the Faroe Islands and looked the part.
Faroe Islands: the up waterfall
My apologies for the shaky, shaky video. It was pretty windy. So windy, in fact, that the waterfalls were falling up.
Lurching towards the Faroe Islands
“Don’t worry, this is normal,” said the Faroese fisherman sitting next to us. Even for seasoned flyers such as Scott and me, that didn’t seem like it could possibly be true. Turbulence is one thing, but when it’s happening during a rather steep descent towards an unseen island? I suddenly understood why we had been served so much free liquor on the relatively short flight.
