“When I’m driving the highway by myself is when I write best” ~ Willie Nelson
We went to the Faroe Islands to hike, but the scenic drives just kept beckoning us, especially on the island of Streymoy. As the largest island in the Faroes, Streymoy had plenty of roads to explore with charming villages along the route. In my previous post, I shared our experiences in Streymoy’s southern region. This post will take us through the rest of that island, from sleepy little beaches to remote villages with friendly waffle makers.
“In order to see birds it is necessary to become a part of the silence.” ~ Robert Lynd
I do not consider myself an avid ornithophile by any means, but there is something to be said about seeing birds in their natural habitat. Especially when those birds are puffins and their habitat just so happens to be the isolated island of Mykines with views like this…
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.
