The Faroe Islands

The Tyr thread I started was sort of two-parter. I'm wondering, has anyone ever been to the Faroe Islands?

I'm very intrigued by the place. I love the little nooks and crannies of the World. My wife is from one of the small island nations of the world so they fascinate me.

Interesting looking place. I have an interest in those kinds of places, too...I'd love to make a pilgrimmage some day to several of those 'nook and cranny'-type places.

I've often wondered if there is any place left where nobody lives, but is inhabitable, with food and water and livable conditions. That would be cool. Like a real-life deserted island from the movies.

To answer your question, no, I've not been to the Faroe Islands.

pretty awesome thread


more post when awake

I've not been there, but I work with 2 men from that place, and used to work with a third one. It's not so different from living in any small, pitoresque (sp?) Norwegian coastal town.

Never been there, but i have been to the Shetland Islands, which is very similar. Loved the place and the people there!

I checked on American Airlines and (that's the only airline within 2.5 hour drive) and they have no flights there. I'd have to go to Scotland and then connect. Maybe someday....

so yeah, islands. I like them. I live in Florida by the coast and when you go over the different bridges, there are always all these mini island things beneath, sitting in the river, that I often wish to travel to by boat and fortify as my own.

Never been to the Faroe Islands, but I go to Iceland almost every year. I am half Icelandic - Beautiful place. Iceland might be better Scott, it's the same landscape, and it's probably easier to get there.

That's a very good point, Mglaffas81. Someday!

Little remote islands are always great! Get there if you can.

My goal is to someday tour through Europe. Would be cool to visit some of these lesser known places.
