Welcome to the Faroe Islands
The Faroe Islands was the planned fourth stop on our cruise from Tromso, Norway to Reykjavik, Iceland. This group of islands really impressed us. We had not done much research ahead of time and were surprised how beautiful the scenery was. The population is growing as people are discovering the beauty of the place. The views were really amazing.
