Darren and JanetYes, it's a stunning country. The silhouettes in the middle of the roundabout represent a Faroese circle dance.

Daniel WilliamsGood on the town, what an experience! Is Faroese a dialect of Danish then?
Darren and JanetCloser to Icelandic - it's almost the same when written, but different when spoken. The children learn Danish as a second language, English as third, then often pick up German or French as well! They are keen to stress that they are Danish citizens, but have their own language, their own culture and their own history.

Darren and JanetThat's a freebie from the gate. We were on a time critical mission, didn't have time for the full argument. The $15 view just used a bit less zoom 🤣

Wow, there are caches even somewhere that isolated?
Darren and JanetYes, there's 106 caches spread around the Faroes! The one I really wanted to get was on top of the tallest mountain, but our walk got cancelled 🙁
