This morning we take a sail across the bay to the island of Nolsoy & have another picturesque hike planned for the afternoon.
 |
| The historic sailing sloop, the Nordlysid. It was repaired & refurbished by a small group of sailors and the current captain. *Ask me sometime about our safety demonstration* |
 |
| Happy to have waterproof gear for the top deck |
 |
| It is possible to take a small boat into one of these caves... later in the summer a small group of musicians perform a concert inside the cave |
 |
| A small blowhole |
 |
| Great view of the lighthouse and arch |
 |
| First view of Nolsoy- population 200 |
 |
| An actual whale jawbone serves as the entry gate to the island |
 |
| The cafe was serving salted chocolate cake & waffles with rhubarb - The rhubarb preserves/jam were "lick the plate clean" DELICIOUS!! |
 |
| This is the Faroese Navy ship that patrols these waters |
After our lovely sail, we took a "walking tour" called the "Footsteps of the Vikings" above the capital of Torshavn. We climbed up & walked down, we trekked over ridges to open landscapes with lakes & viewed the islands of Hestoy & Koltur. It was a venture into a Tolkien like landscape and a photographers dream!!
 |
| These cairns have been standing for hundreds of years, used by villagers to mark the trail |
 |
| Looking back at whence we'd come... |
 |
| This is the "up" part |
 |
| Another view of the prison |
 |
| At the top of the hill you can see the now defunct NATO radar system |
 |
| Pizza and "Jolly" cola (room service by mom & dad) hit the spot after a long day's walk!! |
 |
| Our hotel and the view over Torshavn |
