Faroe day 11

 aug 21 sun
we woke up to a drizzle again, but this time we didn't lay about. our co-guest left this morning so we now have the whole house to ourselves… the landlord asks us about renting a car every time he sees us -maybe he gets a tip from the garage- and I guess tomorrow we may just do that, so we can travel freely north and south of the island without having to wait or phone for the few buses - we'll just take walks from the various places we go to, without doing any longer treks. the weather forcast is not very promising anyway, so we'd probably never get up to anything much…

close encounters of the sheep kind

this morning we started towards the basalt columns just outside the village, but we took the high road instead of the low road, so we ended up meeting with a trail towards the top of the mountain. we took it although it wasn't on any maps and we couldn't see where it was heading for the fog. in between dry and drizzle, but always in the cloud, we evetually reached the top of the cliff and the view would have certainly been spectacular … had we seen it!
still, the walk has been very pleasant in spite of the dull weather.
coming back down we continued along the road reaching the top of the fiord, had a sandwich there, and returned by the low road passing in front of the spectacular basalt pillars we saw the other day from the helicopter landing.
coming back home we tried the local museum, which should have been open from 2 to 5.30, but of course it was closed… never mind - we had a very pleasant walk today, and tomorrow we're off to some sightseeing :)
