Torshavn; Tuesday, 27 July, 2010

An early start to the day, as I had booked onto a full day tour, so I needed to be out of the hotel before 8am.

Having been collected for the tour and the remainder of our tour party (of two) we headed out of Tórshavn on our tour north.

We had several stops along the way, including an extended stop in Klaksvíg before we finally reached the most northerly point on the tour at Viðareiði.

We then worked our way back down through the islands, stopping for a very pleasant and filling Fish and Chip lunch just after 2pm. With lots more photo-stops along the way, we finally arrived back into Tórshavn at just after 6. I had a wander around the town, including through the parliament area.

The town was really starting to buzz in preparation for the national day celebrations over the following two days, including having all the roads closed and open-air concerts taking place on what, until yesterday evening, were the city’s streets.

I headed back to the hotel for a decent night’s sleep ready for the noisy day ahead.
