.... and the travel fun continues

The joys of travelling- 05.45am start. First train was all on time from Brussels to Cologne. Cologne to Hamburg train was 35 mins late so we missed our connecting train.
Now have a ticket for the train in 2 hours getting to Copenhagen at 8.40pm- trains are the same the world over!! Just grateful for the onward seats.... and everyone speaking English!!Lue lisää

15 hours later we arrive in Copenhagen!! The highlight of the day was when the train drove into the ferry, we had to disembark up to the ferry deck and then after 45 mins of sailing we all re boarded the train and off we went again!! Amazing seeing the train parked on the car deck!!!
A quick walk and a beer and it was back to the Airbnb. Copenhagen seems full of beautiful young people on scooters and bikes... we r going to fit right in!!Lue lisää

Copenhagen- full day
11. heinäkuuta 2019, Tanska ⋅ ⛅ 16 °C
5 hours at the National Museum learning about Viking history and also Ghengis Khan and Mongolia (a little research for later in the trip!). The museum had so many excellent exhibits we just didn’t have enough time.
Spent a v lovely evening at Nyhavn- historical harbour area before a v expensive pizza and wine for dinner. Copenhagen is v lovely and needs more than 1 day..., and we picked up a bottle of Marlborough Sav Blanc.... with a pic of Moeraki boulders on the label!!! Too funny!!!Lue lisää

10.50pm and it's still light- Hirtshals
12. heinäkuuta 2019, Tanska ⋅ 🌙 15 °C
Started the day in Copenhagen with a visit to the Design Museum. Followed this with a 7 hour bus trip to Hirtshals for the sunset... and preparation for our ferry trip north tomorrow.
Amazing sunset from our balcony although the 20 hour daylight is a bit disconcerting.... and the fact we were told we get served liquor at breakfast the old Danish way!!!Lue lisää

Morning Medicine the Danish way
13. heinäkuuta 2019, North Sea ⋅ ⛅ 12 °C
So the warning came true- we were met with the most amazing breakfast buffet.... and small glasses of Danish rocket fuel! Apparently it was made with yellow snare, Heather and dune rose.... and brewed with some form of pure alcohol- I will stick to coffee in future!!
Had the longest walk from Hirtshals to the Smyril Line ferry to take us to Faroe Islands carrying all luggage And emergency food- because we were too tight to get a taxi!
32 hours and we will be in Tórshavn, Faroe Islands- v exciting.Lue lisää

Arrival into the Faroe Islands
14. heinäkuuta 2019, Färsaaret ⋅ ☁️ 11 °C
After a lecture on the Faroese Language and also learning that Faroese DNA resulted in males being mainly Norwegian but female DNA were surprisingly Scottish and Irish, we sailed into Tórshavn at 10.30pm.
That was nearly 10 hours after we excitedly sailed past the Shetlands.
Thank god we booked a taxi as we are staying up one very long hill.
It’s now 11.45pm and it’s finally getting slightly dark. We have a fab little apartment and just grateful we are not sharing it with 4 others!Lue lisää

Torshavn and National Museum
15. heinäkuuta 2019, Färsaaret ⋅ ⛅ 13 °C
Had a pretty relaxed day today orientating ourselves around Tórshavn using the free local buses.
Parliament is in grass roofed buildings in the historic area- v nice place to work.
Several times we had to pinch ourselves in disbelief that not only were we in the Faroes but it was dry and fog free - stunning beauty and that wasn’t just Kate!!! ( she told me to write that!)
The National Museum was excellent on everything from local history, geology and economy. It also included access to a traditional farm from the late 19th century. Today we also squeezed in a visit to the Nordic House which was a beautiful community arts space up the road from our apartment. Dinner and wine at home as a coffee costs $8/£4!!Lue lisää

Driftwood
15. heinäkuuta 2019, Färsaaret ⋅ ☁️ 13 °C
So whilst visiting the open air farmhouse museum yesterday I was admiring the beautiful wooden ceiling beams and the crafted walls.
I asked the person in attendance “ why type of wood are these massive beams??”. I was astonished by her reply.....”driftwood”!!!!!
Kate and I managed not to fall about laughing until we were outside when we wondered what type of leaves the Driftwood trees have and how they grow so massive to make solid 12 ft long beams!!Lue lisää

Not so easy to see Nolsoy
16. heinäkuuta 2019, Färsaaret ⋅ ☁️ 11 °C
Well today we headed out early for an easy 6 hour walk in the eastern island of Nólsoy.
We got off the ferry to fog which was expected and managed to pick up a Danish student who wanted to walk with us.
To cut a v long story short despite being experienced walkers none of us could find a track, followed what we thought was the track and ended up hanging onto the side of a hill admiring some v small headed sheep.... to save looking at the steep drop down!!
Danish student scrambled up and off into the fog whilst Kate and i decided to head down, where we found a v obvious track once we got back to the start 3 hours and less fog later!!
Went for a life celebrating waffle and rhubarb jam before heading off for a track in the opposite direction. This then also forked off so when we saw a ferry steaming in we decided to run like loons back through the village and jumped in the ferry with 30 secs to go.... slightly over shitly signposted walks!
Only 3 days more of walked planned- god knows where we will end up by Friday!!!Lue lisää

Love your adventures you guys! The pictures are simply amazing the commentary a real treat. Love the word 'shitly" think I'll start to use it more often, so useful! Much love, Tracy A
