Round and Round

The white-knuckle excursion on the Faroe Isles involved a long tunnel under the ocean as they crossed from one island to another. This was followed by a ride along one-track mountain roads with steep drops, especially at the hairpin bends.

They did, however go twice round the only (alleged) roundabout on the planet which is under an ocean.

On the plus side, TSH and Diva had good sight of extremely dramatic cliffs where – spoiler alert – 007 died in a recent film. The chocolate cake at the refreshment stop was very good but not quite as good as Diva’s brownies.

The Faroes appear to be more developed than Iceland, although it is unclear why. TSH and Diva even saw a supermarket!! The claim is that 90% of the income is derived from fish. Sheep-shearing was in full swing - there are more sheep, of a variety of colours, than humans.
