This was a day of scenic drives with breathtaking views. Best weather we've had the whole trip, so we really got to enjoy the day. Except for the narrow scenic routes, which only I enjoyed while Bill kept us from plummeting to our deaths. We started the day in Sandur, the largest town. Everything is closed today, which we expected. We take a walk to the harbor and then follow a footpath around to do some sightseeing along the coast.
Next up, we drive down a narrow road to a stone beach. There is a boulder that gets covered in knitting part of the year, but we are just a little too early to see it. At the end of the scenic route is Søltuvik and a memorial to a capsized ship:
We then head to the southernmost town on the island, Dalur, which is just an excuse for more scenic roads. They are working on a tunnel for more direct, less possibly fall off a cliff on a one lane road, but it's not an option yet.
Next up is the northern most town, Skopun, which has a very cool looking spinnery that was not open. But we did get to stop at this park and walk around a bit:
After a day of driving and gawking, it was time to head back to Torshavn to unwind at a cafe before heading to ROKS for dinner. This was yet another amazing menu, to which we added a bonus snow crab dish. The restaurant was mostly empty, but the neighboring table was a couple from Tennessee and Florida. The art was also pretty great, and the artist does prints through a print shop we'd briefly visited earlier.
