Island Tag 3: on the Norröna

It was very stormy during the night. I wake up and feel extremely nauseous. Susannes gives me one of her patches, but it only works to a certain extent. Breakfast is out of the question. It's best if I go back to sleep. In between, I keep running to the toilet because my stomach is turning. At some point, I make myself a herbal tea and drink it very slowly, but it comes right back up. I try a travel chewing gum, but it shoots me off so much that I sleep for another 2 hours.

By now it's noon and the storm has calmed down a bit. I manage to drink some water and cook a tomato cup soup. Susanne is much more resistant to sea sickness than I am, but she also has a patch behind her ear now.

In the late afternoon, we arrive at the Faroe Islands. We make a short stop in the harbor but are not allowed to leave the ship. Some passengers disembark, while others come on board. It is very windy even in the harbor, and we have trouble not being blown away on deck.
