Voyage of the Vikings Fareo Islands Djupivogur, Iceland

Monday, August 17th Port# 15 Torshavn, Fareo Islands We were up, dressed and fed quickly this morning as we were meeting Cindy & Phil on the pier for a Taxi Tour. We had pre-arranged for a 1½ hour ride into the inners of the island. What a sight this place is! National Geographic has listed this the "#1 Best Place in the World" and I can see why. The islands are all joined by tunnels or bridges. There is even a bridge that is "the only bridge crossing the Atlantic", which it actually does, between two small islands. This is a mountainous, very green country with NO trees, except for in the towns, where they are cultivated. We also saw Viking ruins, a ride through the old town and then we did a little walking.

Tuesday, August 18th Port# 16 Djupivogur, Iceland We are back in Iceland this morning, and of course, it is cloudy! It rained as we were tendering but actually stopped shortly after we got ashore. This is a very small town so we just walked a little bit and then returned to the ship. After a small lunch, we did our best to stay awake but finally succumbed to our daily nap! Hard to believe after having a full nights sleep of gentle rock n roll between the Fareos' and Iceland!
