Faroe day 5

aug 15 mon

this morning we took a nice two hour walk across the "mountain" to Kirkjubøur. the path was well marked with cairns and with bright orange poles towards the end, on the way down to the village. the weather was misty but quite dry, which added to the scenery but it wasn't so good for taking photos. the walk itself was easy and we reached this village of a few houses, a church and the remains of St. Magnus cathedral from the late 13th century, now being repaired.

after lunch we walked some more towards the tip of the bay and then we returned to Tórshavn on one of the free town buses. I was a bit disappointed that the bus only took some 5 minutes to get to the point we started from - I thought our walk had taken us further out…
back to town we took a walk through one of the parks and bought us some grilled vegs to cook at the hostel for dinner. one of the advantages of hostels is a fully funcional kitchen - saves you eating out every day spending a fortune :)
