Faroes Photo Album

From my recent trip to the Faroes I’ve posted blogs on the pretty little village of Gjógv and the island of Mykines, the place to go if you want to see puffins. I also spent some time in the capital city – Tórshavn – drove around all the major interconnected islands (linked by bridges and some often seriously scary tunnels) plus I took a ferry south to the island of Suduroy. Here are 10 photos summarising my Faroes travels.

Flying in

Even flying in to the Faroes can be spectacular, here’s my first view of the islands, a typical sheer cliff face on the island of Vágar as I flew in to the airport on the island. It’s then nearly 50km by road to the capital Tórshavn including a 5km tunnel linking Vágar Island to Streymoy Island.
