We did a couple of tours, basically taking in the vistas, although the second tour included a stop-off at an old farmhouse and a church.
The place is very picturesque. Lush greenery, steep mountains into fiords, sheep grazing on the slopes, etc. The Faroe Islands were formed tens of millions of years before Iceland and so the landscape is more weathered and less craggy. Also, grass roofs are still reasonably popular.
Now on another sea day heading for Norway.Read more
