    I live in the boonies of Texas. You'd get a chuckle here. This is meat goat country and lots of folks have goat's, horses, and chickens in their yards. Warning, never honk at a chicken crossing the road. It will stop and stare at you. Then spend 5 minutes trying to remember which way it was going before returning to where it started.

    When you first started the video and mentioned the country you didn't know exist, being you were in Iceland I figured you were going the Faroe Islands. That said it is incorrect to say Faroe islands is its own country. The Faroe Islands is a self-governing archipelago, part of the Kingdom of Denmark.

      @@TheGeorg007 I mean in a way they are administrated in the same way that Wales, Scotland etc are within the United Kingdom. While both Greenland and the Faroe Islands are largely independent, they're still effectively part of the Danish nation (even if Greenland doesn't want that, though legally they can just come to the negotiating table any time they want. It's part of the law here that if the Greenlandic people want independence, all they need to do is to discuss it with the Danish government and then we're obligated to make them independent. Don't know if it's the same with the Faroes though.)

    I've heard of it and have been. I quickly realised it was a harsh place to live. Not too bad in summer, but winter is savage. As they have no natural resources, relying on imported diesel for power generators, they built a windfarm for power and the windmills were blown over!
    There was actually a caravan rally when we were there, hundreds of caravans in the field. I don't know why as whilst there are 18 islands (and there have been mad plans to have a golf course with a single hole on each one!) they all looked exactly the same to me! Like you found if you want to go away there aren't many hotels outside of the main towns, so caravans must be the alternative.

I rented a car and stayed in a holiday flat in a small settlement called Kollafjørdur. I was due to visit a family in Toftir, which I could see around 10 miles away across a couple f fjords -- but it was at least 50km to drive there. I also visited a friend in Klaksvik and found myself 'locked into' the town because the undersea tunnel was closed for maintenance. Luckily I could stay with my friend in Klaksvik's hospital accommation (he was a doctor). An amazing place to visit. The approach into the airport is quite stunning.

Sadly, I was very disappointed by Atlantic's flight and ground crew. They seemed not wanting to be bothered, especially when I inquired about their helicopter services. The Faroes are a gem and its people are wonderful, however, Atlantic needs to improve, especially when it comes to their customer service.

    Yes I saw the sun in Copenhagen. Flew there from New York last year early June. The day before flights had been delayed due to storms.

    when i flew to vagar in flight sim, it was pretty terrifying. visibility was awful as there was a thick fog covering the island. seeing the mountains creep upwards towards me as i was approaching from the east really made me scared
