I went to the Faroe Islands, for a couple of hours, in my mind. Wayyyy out there - north of Scotland, West of Norway.
But... it rarely freezes except in the hills, and it doesn't get hot. And there's a modern capital city with ancient buildings, modern buildings, narrow lanes, harbours and boats. It is grey and wet, winter nights are long (like Norway), it's green, there are many sheep.

They are Danish - mostly, and Norwegian and Viking. And some ancient Celts.

Me too, but always with places I've been or lived in.

Help keep MVS on the web -> click sponsors' links here on MVS when you buy from them.

Also -> Amazon link. Click that when you go to buy something on Amazon and MVS gets a cut!
