Yesterday we arrived in Tórshavn, capital of the Faroe Islands. After walking around the town for a bit and having an absolutely delicious lunch (I’ll upload a picture of my sandwich later) we boarded a tour bus which took us across the only bridge across the Atlantic Ocean to Saksun where we visited an old stone church and Duvugardur, a 17th century farm. We also stopped to view the highest waterfall in Faroe, but due to a recent drought, it was more of a dribble and not much to see. After returning to the boat, we traveled overnight to Lerwick, the capital of the Shetland Islands. At Lerwick, we visited Fort Charlotte and the Shetland Museum and Archives before doing some shopping, picking up some woolen items made from the fabulous Shetland wool. Sadly, we had but a few short hours in Lerwick before we had to take the ship’s tender back aboard and depart. Tomorow we’ll be at sea with no ports of call so I’ll take the time to descibe the ship, it’s crew, and our fellow travelers. We get back to London the day after tomorrow where we’ll board the Eurostar to take us down to Paris.
