Dear All Wow! The Faroe Islands did not fail to impress. After recently writing my blog entry on my first few days on this amazing archipelago, I realised what an amazing time I had had there. But there was more in store for me, and this second and final blog entry on my time there aims to relate my adventures for a further four days that I spent on these incredible islands. I really enjoyed the ... Read Full Entry

Hello there! Thanks for reading my blog. I started it in 2010 to keep a record of my travels, to let people know how I'm going, and also to keep me sane at times while I'm on the road! I have written up my 28 most recent journeys so far, and have no plans at all to stop travelling just yet. 93 countries down, 102 more to go - watch this space! Alex... full info

Viking books...
I recommend that you read "The Last Viking" by Don Hollway and the "Last Crown" by Elzbeita Cherezinka.

The magic that is the Faroe Islands
Dave here.....you certainly have explored quite a bit of this fantastic place. I remember how unique it was when we were driving in the underground tunnels and there was an intersection! Looking forward to hearing all about Iceland.

Faroe Islands
Thanks Dave. I was very much inspired by your own blog entry and visit to the Faroe Islands for my visit there, so thank you for this. The islands are truly magical, and I really enjoyed my time there. Thank you for reading and for your comment 😊👍

Congratulations on surviving the rough seas and your very first helicopter ride! I'm glad you met your pilots the day before and I'm thrilled neither your ferry or helicopter were cancelled. I'm so glad you suggested to the grumpy lady to relax a bit... I must admit I laughed about that one. You experienced some great hiking, amazing scenery, birdlife and artwork on these islands. I loved the greenness of the island. Merry Jo

Thanks MJ! And your blog on the island very much inspired my visit - I remember what you wrote when I saw the sheep grazing on the near-vertical cliff faces when I was there, seeing this for myself too - amazing! After experiencing the Faroese weather, I certainly understand why the land is so green!

The weather is a challenge I guess
I guess that if you go to Faroe Islands and want blue skies in your pics the weather is quite a challenge, isn't it? It looks like it was overcast most days you were there. /Ake

Faroese Weather
Yes, indeed - not a country to expect constant blue skies in. I heard it said there, that if you don't like the weather, just wait five minutes! I did have a good amount of fair weather there though which I was grateful for, mixed with the wet.

Blackbird
Thanks Alan! 😊👍 But darn, I should have known that one, lol! Blackbirds are one of the few birds I can spot - I think the wetness must have disguised it for me!

Another great blog with some well captured and beautiful photos. Congrats on the completing your first helicopter ride - is it like being on a plane with bad turbulence? I think it's the bumpiness and knowing I am off the ground that scares me

Faroe Islands
Thanks Alan, for reading my blogs and for your very encouraging comments 😊 Yes, the turbulence in the helicopter felt similar to a plane. I agree, I find the bumpiness and being off the ground scary too. I'm very glad I did it though, another mode of transport ticked, lol!
