Ventures in Streymoy

on the road to Saksun

On the Road to Saksun

After arriving in Torshavn, I made my way to Kollafjordur and then to Saksun.
Saksun

Saksun

The evening I arrived in Saksun, signs of humanity were scarce.. A distant tent, the town's homes with their lights on, no one outside wandering around.
At the northwest of the main island in the Faroes (Streymoy), Saksun was like a secretive, mystical place.. Hiking all the way to the sea is well worth the trip: there's a blacksand beach backed by rolling, green, sheep-covered hills to explore.
Leynar

Streymoy, take 2

After exploring some of the northern islands, I hitch-hiked back to Streymoy and explored Leynar - Kvivik - Vestmanna.
Leynar, situated right by the tunnel to Vagoy, has a stunning beach. The water is cold but not too cold to swim (in my opinion).
view from Kvivik

Kvivik

There are many towns like Kvivik in the Faroes, comprised of houses and small shops perched on a hillside.
Apparently there is some sort of Viking tomb or something in Kvivik, but I didn't find it..

Vestmanna

Vestmanna is a larger town for the Faroes, and there's even a bar where you can try the Faroese beer!
