\ud83c\udf19 After a calm night, no rain or storm, we packed up camp \u2014 still a bit messy, we'll improve.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Then we put on our boots for a first hike together, just to calibrate the rhythms, the gear, and the layers of clothing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
(We'd never really walked together before... we might as well do it with the wind in our faces.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\ud83c\udf27\ufe0f The Faroes are not known for their tropical climate: planning for rain is essential.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In 95% of cases, we will be right.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And for the remaining 5 %, we will be treated to a little drizzle just for the folklore.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\ud83e\udd7e The short but steep hike leads straight to Risin og Kellingin, our two petrified friends from yesterday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And there\u2026 wow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Despite the grayness, the panorama is striking: cliffs, ocean, rocks standing like stone guardians.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
But the rest of the day looks set to be wet. Very wet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\ud83c\udfa8 Gabrielle will not be able to draw or paint, and even seeing something would be a miracle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
So we change course: find a dry, warm place, and take advantage of it to move forward on other aspects of the project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\ud83e\udded Heading to Vestmanna, making a detour via Gj\u00f3gv, two key spots in the Faroe Islands:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Gj\u00f3gv: A tiny, colorful village north of Eysturoy, famous for its natural gorge (which gives it its name) and its grass-roofed houses. A picture-postcard setting. Vestmanna: Known for its dramatic sea cliffs, accessible by boat (but not today), and for its more sheltered atmosphere on the west side.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\ud83d\ude99 We're rolling slowly but surely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The rain hits the windows, the kettle boils, and the notebook fills up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
