Faroes, a few considerations

a few things I noted about these islands...
• they have flimsy plastic toilet seats
• there aren't many animals: sheep, mainly; birds, lots; some horses and a very few cows
• spectacular cliffs and views
• nice people, mostly smiling and helpful
• overall, they're not very tourist-orientated: when trails are marked, they go on for a while then usually disappear; times of buses and museums are dodgy at best, sometimes a museum is marked as open and you find it closed; many things worth advertising for are not
• not very environment conscious -perhaps because there's so much environment: there's no differentiated collection for rubbish; litter is left about everywhere, even in places you thought nobody would reach.

three cheers to the Faroe Islands!!!

that said, I'm glad I came here. this few days have been really relaxing and a true sight for sore eyes - a much needed change of scenery after a whole year being stuck in an office wasting time producing rubbish...
