WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 3, 2008:
After 23 days of great weather on this trip, my luck ran out in the Faroe Islands.
Ten days ago when I tossed a coin in Trevi Fountain in Rome I wished for good weather the rest of trip.
It had worked wonders up until now. I had nice weather in Norway and the Shetlands, truly amazing!
On my tour of the Faroe Islands we stopped in the village of Sandavágur on the island of Vágar.
The beautiful red-roofed Church has a distinctive architecture and was built in 1917.
The beauty of the island was evident even during the bleak conditions that were occuring during my visit.
Tórshavn is the capital of the Faroe Islands. It is located in the southern part on the east coast of Streymoy.
To the north west of the town lies 1,140 feet high mountain Húsareyn, and to the southwest, 1,100 feet high Kirkjubřreyn.
The city population is 19,000. The city was founded in the 10th century and may well be the oldest capital in Northern Europe.
We sailed away in early evening and could see a few peeks of blue sky through the clouds.
