#37 | Sailing to the Faroe Islands: Island Exploration, Folk Tales, and 007's Tombstone
Our journey to the top spots on the Faroe Islands continues - The Story of Risin og Kellingin - Fuglafjørður - Voxbótn Festival - No Time To Die Filming Site - The Story Of Kópakonan Under blue skies and on a glassy sea, we sail from Vestmanna to the iconic sea stacks known as Risin og Kellingin – the Giant and the Hag – while unraveling their story, shrouded in legend. Our journey continues along the rugged north coast with its impressive cliffs, taking us to Fuglafjørður, where we're treated to a traditional homemade Faroese dinner by our local friends, Frímund and his wonderful family. We experience the annual music extravaganza, Voxbótn, in Tórshavn – two nights of incredible music and non-stop partying right by the marina. We also explore the excellent public transport options on the islands, taking you on a land excursion to the site near Trøllanes on Kalsoy, where James Bond met his fate in "No Time To Die" and even has a tombstone. Our journey doesn't end there. On our way back we stop at the charming village of Mikladalur and delve into more of the Faroese folk tales surrounding Kópakonan, the Seal woman. Don't miss this enchanting adventure as we sail through breathtaking landscapes, uncover captivating stories, and immerse ourselves in the beauty of the Faroe Islands.
