Iceland 2023 - Part 2 - Shetland and Faroe Islands

Two days after we left Amsterdam, we arrived in the beautiful city of Lerwick, Shetland Islands. We ventured to Hoswick a simple town with beautiful scenery. From there we went to Jarlshof where people lived some 4000 years ago. It had been lost to history until a storm blew ashore in the late 1800s and washed the sand away from hidden structures some dating to 4000 years ago and some a few hundred years ago. The next day we arrived in the city of Torshavn, Faroe Islands. We headed to the mountains for a 2 hour hike after looking over the city and port. We were very lucky to hike under partly sunny skies. On the return trip to Torshavn it started to rain. We departed later in the day under light showers. But somehow, the sun poked out of the clouds long enough to create one stunning sunset.
