| LOCATION & DESCRIPTION:
Situated
in the heart of the world's smallest capital, Torshavn. The Faroese
are descendents of ancient Vikings who arrived in the archipelago
in 825 AD. Remnants of an ancient way of life still pervade the
culture. The medieval chain dance is still practiced; sheep still
outnumber people, walking in the hills is still considered a pleasant
family outing. Remoteness does have its advantages. Feel free to
safely wander the village streets and shops, to stay up late, to
sleep late, to turn off your mobile telephone, to relax, to ponder
the great mysteries of life. In the Faroe Islands, visitors are
treated like family; hospitality is a way of life. |
