So why the Faroe Islands? Well because we were in a pub, discovered it on the map and booked flights.
It rains a lot and it's not easy to get to but oh my god it's the most idyllic place I have ever been! The foggy days add to the myth and the sun makes the grass so green you think you are in Hobbit land. And if you're not convinced yet, helicopters are part of public transport.

A picture just never quite manages to take your breath away the same way the vast nature itself can...

80.000 sheep and only 50.000 people on the Faroe Islands

Helicopter View

Helicopters are part of public transport which means it's a bargain to travel to another island by plane. You need to book in advance though so it's important to think through your itinerary.

Kalsoy Island

To get to this place you have to take the ferry and then drive to the very end through many chicken tunnels

This was probably my favourite place. You need to hike up a big hill and just go on to the very remote end of the island where you find a lighthouse
