Faroese Islands

Dear family, dear friends, dear followers, ....finally the time has come, my blog is online! My first stop on my trip to the Faroe Islands and Iceland with the camper van (including motorcycle and e-scooter, which prove to be very useful) was a short stopover in Hirtshals/Denmark (departure port towards the Faroe Islands and Iceland).

The first stormy night in the harbor gives me a glimpse of what awaits me in the North Atlantic, and I am not disappointed. My globetrotter shakes all night as if I were already on the ship. Unfortunately, the next morning doesn't look any better.

But during the crossing, the ship is calmer than expected. The good food, a beer, and the hot whirlpool with a view of the Norwegian coast sweeten the 'shaking'.

Arrival on 20.06.21 after 31 hours of driving. Everything is gray. I'm curious about what awaits me. Uncomplicated handling and a very nice welcome at the harbor and 5 more minutes on the campsite in Torshavn. Nice pitch directly by the sea for 120 Kroner per night. (After many plans to stay overnight in different places, I stay here for 10 full days) The location is an ideal central starting point to reach all the islands within an hour.

The stopover on the Faroe Islands towards Iceland (10 days) is absolutely recommendable. The islands and landscapes are breathtakingly beautiful and the Faroese residents are respectful, accommodating, helpful, and extremely friendly!
