Reported by Laufey Haraldsdottir, Uddipan Brown 16.0 km

Greetings from the Faroe Islands!

After all the boys almost forgot their passports, we finally made it to a wet gate at the Reykjavik airport.

Vi nåede flyet til Færöerne selvom drengene næsten glemte deres pas.

Farewell Reykjavik, capital of Iceland.

Farvel Reykjavik, Islands hovedsted!

Hello Faroe Islands.

Hej Færöerne.

We were lucky to make it, as the fog had temporarily closed the airport both before and after our arrival.

Vi var heldige at kunne lande, da tåge lukkede lufthavnen midlertidligt lige inden og efter vores ankomst.

Then it was straight on to the ferry, bound for the island of Suðuroy
