Went on the Golden Circle tour. First stop was a service station built over the rift between the North Atlantic plate and the European plate. Visited the Gullfoss waterfall. First we were given lunch at 10.30! It was delicious ; tomato soup and local salmon.
Then we went to the Geyser, which erupted about every 10 minutes. The final stop was the Pingfellir national park the site of the first parliament in Iceland.Læs mere

Did pilates and then walked into town.
Firstly walk a little way up the mountain. Then walked through the town . Visited the old hospital which contained old equipment and an art display. Also went into the church which had an unusual display of a flight of birds above the altar. Supposed to be inspired by Jesus,' childhood story from Thomas's gospel.Læs mere

Went on a trip firstly to a waterfall Godafoss. Then we went to a house made of turf. only a handful left in Iceland but you can study turfing in school. Then we learnt about the Icelandic horses and saw them racing. The last stop was the botanic gardens.
Back on the ship we had a ceremony for crossing the Arctic circle. Beryl volunteered to be iced. Johnathan was Neptune. A lot of the staff and crew ended up in the pool. Then we sailed out of the Eyjafjordur . The longest fjord in Iceland. There were whales beside the ship.
Captain Davor announced an itinerary change and we would not visit Klaksvik in the Faroes because of high winds.Læs mere

Arrived here at 9.30. I walked on the deck and then did pilates. Breakfast in the view and then ventured out. I got a map of the town and then walked to the waterfall near the ship quite a steep climb. Then I walked along the Fjord. There was information about the landslides they had suffered. A very serious one in 2020 with several buildings demolished. I climbed up the art installation . it was very steep.
I went back into town and looked at the shops and church and colourful buildings.Læs mere

Torshavn
24.–25. jun. 2024, Færøerne ⋅ 🌧 11 °C
Arrived late afternoon and I went out to wander round town that is the capital of the Faroes population about 20000. Total population of Faroes is about 55k. They are a satellite of Denmark but they have their own parliament and language. The old houses have turf roofs which last 40-50 years. They can be mown or get a sheep or goat to eat the grass. I walked up to the triangular church which was Lutheran. It was raining so I just wandered back through the old town.Læs mere

I got up early to go on a trip to a neighbouring island , Eysturoy. Had continental breakfast in my cabin. Local guide who was a farmer's wife with 3 young children. Great scenery. The stacks are called the giant and the witch. several hoto stops and then in Gjogv village to look round and have coffee and cake. The village has a large gorge. We travelled back through the tunnel that links the islands It features the only underground roundabout.
We were sailing at 1pm and when I got back to my cabin I had an invitation to join Captain Davos in Colours and Taste for dinner at 6.15.Læs mere

Last sea day. I went to yoga and then line dancing. Stayed in the observatory for a talk about navigational map and Chart Reading.it was given by a very confident Cadet. Played bridge in the afternoon only 2.5 tables but Clair and I won for the 3rd time.
Walked on deck before dinner and saw the list of sightings. Seems like we have more sightings nearer home.Læs mere
