“A tale of two tourists, illegally hopping a fence and making friends in the process.”

During our two week exploration of the Faroe Islands, we saved the island of Eysturoy for last.  We had more interactions with people on this island than we had throughout our entire trip, which made those last two days our most memorable.  We also stayed in the most unique lodging — a converted boathouse, complete with composting toilet and a bunker bedroom.  Believe it or not, that AirBnb in Lamba was our 2nd favorite lodging of the entire trip.  We had floor-to-ceiling windows and a giant wooden hot tub with unspoiled views of the ocean and the most amazing sunrises.

Many places are beautiful, but some places are epic!  The Faroe Islands are certainly in the epic category, and the first island to greet most visitors is the MOST epic of them all (in my humble opinion).  Introducing Vágar, gateway to extraordinary vistas, troll fingers and a mythological shapeshifter.
