My knees hurt but in a good way. I hiked a bit yesterday and climbed to the top of a small mountain, hoping to view Funningur from above. I parked my car a few kilometers outside of Gjógv (Jake-v) and re-read the guidebook. It said sty along the fence and in about 15 minutes youContinue reading “Here & There in the Faroes”

Hard Work & Haddock
Salmon for breakfast, haddock for supper and a hard day’s work in the hay fields in between. Actually, it wasn’t that hard. Martin and his friend, Haldor, began work at 10AM.

The rooster and his hens seem happy in the morning mist, which is even thicker than yesterday. Ah, yes–what a great day it was yesterday! Sasi texted in the morning and said to come for morningContinue reading “Busy Days in the North Atlantic”
