Suduroy

We left Langasandur at 7 am in order to catch the ferry to Suduroy leaving Torshavn at 8am.  The ferry trip is just over two hours each way.  We had a light snack on board, then arrived at Tvoroyri without a camera.  Apparently, something went awry when we tried to charge it in Langasand.  We checked in at Hotel Tvoroyri to order lunch, and got permission to charge the camera there.  We travelled through northern Suduroy for about an hour, using the phone for our camera.

In Sandvik, the northernmost village in Suduroy, we stopped at the place where Sigmundur Brestirsson came to land after his epic swim from Stora Dimun.  Then we stopped for ice cream in Hvalba and took a picture of the jaw bone of a sperm whale.

Then we drove back to Tvoroyri for lunch and to retrieve our camera.  From there, we travelled south Through Oravik and the tunnel to Hov and on to Vagur.  From there, we drove to Lopra and through two tunnels to reach Sumba, the southernmost village in Suduroy.  Then we took a tiny, winding road to the southernmost point of the Faroe Islands, Akraberg.

On the way back to Tvoroyri, We took a detour out of Vagar to see the WWII area at Skuvanos, where soldiers had radio towers and a canon, watching out for Germans flying overhead.  The area is locally known as Eggjarnar (the edges.)  After that, we detoured out of Oravik to Famjin for Faroese waffles before heading to Tvoroyri.

While at the waffle house, there was a special private party upstairs, with a special American guest.  Unfortunately, we were not permitted to go in to talk to him.  He had recently said on Utvarpi (local radio station) that the Faroese salmon is the best in the world!

We returned to Velbastad at 10pm.  What a long day, but beautiful trip.
