Waterfalls, Sheep, Tunnels & Turf

We just got to the Faroe Islands and rented a car for the 40 minute drive to the main town, Torshavn. Scenery is spectacular with excellent roads, no traffic, and an elaborate under-ocean tunnel network which connects the islands. We haven't seen a single tree, but lush grass covers the islands, as well as long-haired sheep. Unbelievable waterfalls abound, and many homes and businesses sport vibrant green turf roofs.

We're looking forward to a drive tomorrow to another series of islands and a ferry ride which will take us to a trail head for a spectacular hike to a remote lighthouse.

Our base is Torshavn which is reportedly the smallest world capital with only 14,000 inhabitants.

We just got here so there is more to come over the next 4 daysRead more
