Vidareidi

So, today we drove from Langasand, through (literally) Eysturoy, through Bordoy (again, literally), to Vidoy and Vidareidi.  We made a little side trip to Kunoy, just to say we had been there.  We walked through the family home (where my grandmother was born) drove to the church where my great grandmother was buried, and had lunch in a restaurant run by my mother's cousin.  We saw the northenmost house (also in Vidareidi).  From there, we could see the back side of Enniberg, the highest escarpment on the planet!  You can't actually see the cliff's face except by boat.

On the way back, in Leirvik, Eysturoy, we stopped to fish off the harbor.  We caught approximately 25 fish in a matter of 15 minutes.  We caught seidur, apparently called coalfish in English, though that doesn't mean anything to me.

We then drove past Langasand to Tjornuvik, one of the oldest villages in the Faroes.  It also happens to be the northernmost village on the island of Streymoy.  There are some viking grave sites there that were discovered by a couple of boys!  We also were able to get a new view of the Giant and the Hag from there.

Annika killed my camera (batteries), so give me a few days to get back to Velbastad to download the photos off her camera.

We crossed the Atlantic twice by bridge, and once by tunnel.  We travelled through 5 land tunnels, which ranged from 2 to 6 kilometers in length.
