this
morning we rented the car for two days and we headed south… what a day
it has been! compared to these buses, the car gives you so much freedom
of movement, so we could go all the way down to Sumba and the lighthouse
at Akraberg by the mountain road. then we travelled back up towards
Vagur and took a road heading for the coast on the opposite side. we
actually took a wrong turn from the road on the map and we ended up at
these superb cliffs with a breathtaking view over the ocean and quite a
clear view on Mykines! there we met a chap who just bought an old farm
there and he's refurbishing the house part. we had a nice chat with him
and his dog, Prince, ended up walking to the clifftops with us. it was
really fantastic!
after
having lunch there we drove back for a bit, took the original road we
were meant to follow, and reached another clifftop with a drinking water
lake - we were glad we took the wrong turn though, for indeed the view
had been much better on the other cliff…
moving
further back north we took the detour to Fámjin on the other side of
the mountain and there we took another short walk to the top of the
hill above the village, where there was a lake forming a waterfall and
some more amazing views!after waffle and coffee in the village we finally came back home where we're going to have a nice dinner.
the day was very full - we saw a lot of great sceneries and we could go to a number of places impossible to reach by bus. the sun was out most of the time, so we could take some really nice pictures!
