Faroe day 4

aug 14 sun
it's just 4 days we're here and it feels a fortnight… we took the bus to Tórshavn at 8.00 this morning and found our hostel to check in. we're staying at the Bládypi, very nice and in the heart of town, with a pub just down the road -always useful- :) the cost is DKR 650 for a twin room, including breakfast and bed linen and towels. nearly a hotel setting.

we had a tour of the town and it looks really nice, a busy port and well windswept. almost everything is closed, being sunday, but restaurants will open tonight, so we'll be trying some local specialities. later on we will make a plan on how to go about these next 10 days to see if it's better to have our base here and move around or if we should move on to another part of the islands.

A Giljanesi Hostel

this hostel is nice, confy beds, large kitchen and common area. the price is quite cheap compared to the average of the country. the owner is a pleasant chap and he has been quite helpful with info. we are in a twin room and I think it could do with some shelves to put your stuff on. although there's no room for a table, a couple of shelves in the gap between the bed and the end of the room could do nicely. I don't like the overall smell of the place -probably some sort of cleaning agent they use- but it doesn't bother my wife, so it's probably just me…
