RELS Posted June 6, 2022 #460 Share Posted June 6, 2022 Also, I am sure I saw a wandering albatross last night as we crossed the North Atlantic. All the bird references say they’re Southern Hemisphere birds, but it really looked like the pictures. What other birds are that large and hang out so far from land? I am definitely adding lots of birds to my life list on this trip! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lower left, one is herring and one is haddak. Nice to see a non contentious fish photo @zqtchas, appreciate the explanation! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare mysty Posted June 7, 2022 Author #466 Share Posted June 7, 2022 Yesterday we were docked in Torshavn, Faroe Islands. We took at took called Scenic Faroes which took us the the village Gjogv at the northeast tip of the island of Eysturoy about 63 km from Torshavn. Beautiful ride and beautiful village. Here are some pics..... Two famous sea stacks know as the giant and the witch... The village of Gjogv..... Today we are at sea on the way to Heimaey. 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A town where everyone knows your name... Apparently about 25 people live there. Many of the homes there are holiday homes. Guide said that sometimes in the winter the town is completely cut off because the roads into it are very steep and windy. The tour bus went into and out of the place very, very slowly. Guide said that groceries and medical care service are done by way of helicopter for some of the islands. Some of the islands are connected by tunnels and bridges. See the bus in the picture below mid-frame a tad right of center..... 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Gourmet Gal Posted June 7, 2022 #471 Share Posted June 7, 2022 The Faroes are the most beautiful non-tropical islands I’ve ever been to. So incredibly green with stunning vistas. Thanks for the photos Mysty and Z. Hope you don’t mind if I add one here of clouds forming on one of the many peaks with salmon farms in the foreground. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it is more beautiful than Iceland. They seem to be more advanced in some ways.. They went to a lot of trouble to make it to google maps. Guide said they are now on Microsoft. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zqtchas Posted June 7, 2022 #475 Share Posted June 7, 2022 Oh! And by the way their liquor laws are about as bad as Canada’s You have to place your order and pick it up at the post office. But you can buy it by the drink at a restaurant. They were losing business. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
