The magic of the Puffins!
Dave here.....so glad that you got to see the Puffins. The Faroes were a great stay for us and we truly enjoyed it and know that you will too!

Birdwatching
Sorry can't help myself, but yes, I am very much into nature and wildlife and in particular have an appreciation for birds

Puffin
Never enough puffin photos

Grass roof
I love these.

Mystical Faroe.... Indeed!
Mist, fog, mystical, brooding, beguile and green grassy slopes are all good descriptions of this amazing location. I would have enjoyed being on the ferry with you... definitely the way to make this travel experience a bit richer. I smiled at bag drag. Knitting in gale force winds? Ok, they really like to knit. I'm glad you enjoyed the beauty and some "moderate" hiking. Being a fan of 007... I found your tidbit interesting. I would not have considered hiking up that steep hill. I'm glad you stopped. Oh... puffins, puffins, puffins....Mykines is where we saw hundreds and hundreds of puffins. Very cool that we enjoyed the same location. We were there on a cloudy wicked windy day but we loved it anyway. Can't wait to read the next blog. MJ

Great pictures...
Your pictures tell the whole story. I doubt if I will ever visit the Faroe Islands...certainly not by ferry because I get seasick very easily...so I am visiting vicariously. As for the Vikings throwing the elderly slaves off the waterfalls, you need to watch the Norsemen...a humorous, politically incorrect TV series made by the Norwegians.

Ferries, Vikings marauders and language skills
MJ here. I've been waiting until I had quiet time to enjoy this read and enjoy it I did. FYI the highest elevation in the state of Florida is 105 meters. I'm always, always impressed with your language skills. You should have become a spy for the CIA! LOL. Prices have improved as well as accommodations and a bike to ride. You are doing very well. I'm happy to hear you went to the tip of Denmark even though it was crowded... well worth the effort. Lovely architecture.
