29.5.23 Reaching the Faroes
29/05/23 19:56
Only in the early hours to sea got quieter but all in all it was again an almost sleepless night.
At 6:00 the alarm went on and after a shower and a small breakfast ( the sea was at this point in time
very calm ) the ferry reached the first islands of the Faroes. A reason to get on deck where one had to cling
to the railings not to be blown away.
Slowly but steadily the ferry reached Tørshavn where we disembarked at around 7:30 and took passion of our
Rental car after a little wait.
As it was Whitsunday all shops where closed, our booked apartment was only available at around 1 pm so
A quick decision was made to use the available time to visit one of the sites on our "agenda".
After a short drive from Tòrshavn we received the somewhat remote little village of Kirkjhubour where the old
Magnus cathedral ( ruin ) greeted us on the shore. The cathedral was once the main seat of the bishop for the
Faroes.
