So this is the video I shot during my 7 day long stay in the Faroe Islands, 2013.
I'm sorry that I'm not being the optimal tourguide, but I was so busy exploring my surroundings - 620 miles away from home.
All in all it was a fantastic trip, and it was my first time there. Nice people and fantastic surroundings plus an average summer temperature of 14 degrees centigrade, hooray! :-)
The Faroe Islands are a group of vulcanic islands in the North Atlantic Ocean, under the sovereignty of the Kingdom of Denmark. The Faroe Islands have been a self-governing country within the Danish Realm since 1948.
Inhabitants: 49,7 thousand people of which the 20 thousand (approximately) inhabit the capital, Tórshavn, and the surrounding urban area.
The language is Faroese, which is an Insular Nordic language spoken as a native language by about 66,000 people, 45,000 of which reside on the Faroe Islands and 21,000 in other areas, mainly Denmark. It is one of four languages descended from the Old West Norse language spoken in the Middle Ages, the others being Icelandic, Norwegian and the extinct Norn, which is thought to have been mutually intelligible with Faroese.
PS:
Yes - I KNOW I have gained weight.... because I stopped smoking in January!!! Who'd have thought, ey???? Half a year without smoke, hell yea!!
