Faroe Islands tour de 2002
On 25th of July I set sails with the Ferry Norröna from Iceland to the Faroes Islands for the national Festival there wich is on 28th and 29th of July every year. the party starts on Thursday, but I expected to arrive there on Friday and was going to some outskirt hemlet to visit a friend of mine, but wanted to start the party on saturday. When I started to get tipsy onboard, I met the President of Althingi, the General Assembly, there, who asked me where I was going I told him so, and then he said no you cant do so, I asked him why he said because Iam going there.
and then We saild onwards, got more drunk, and had two more beers, like you might remember I used to do, and, the boat sailed onwards. Then I woke up, checked the time 08:54 and no sight of land what so ever, what the hell, 08:54 Icelandic time and we should be in the Faroes at 05:00 at Icelandic time, is there any reason for such a delay, I walked down to the restaurrant,and Asked, sorry but when do we come to the Faroe Islands.
- about 17:00 on monday
- no, no now is firday the festival starts at 14:00 on sunday
- yes - he said- i know, but we are sailing to Denmark
- then I thought, too bad, we went up to the Captain, who I had just recently spoken to together with Halldór Blöndal, this politcian and president of the General Assembly in Iceland
I had a change to use his phone, and I phoned to the Faroes to my friend who I intended to visit on that very same friday
- hello I am sorry but I cant really visit you to day, since I am a sortof still on board on Norröna
- he said what are you siling to Denmark
- yea kind of
- so you are going to Denmark, I thought you were coming to the Faroes
- yes and I want to go to the faroes
- so how come you are sailing to Denmark
- I actually slept for to long
- were you that drunk?
- a bit yes, but I can visit you on tuesday in I manage to come to the Faroes Liked expected on monday
and we let that be sufficient, then I went to the information desk, because I was told to go there, I asked
- Is there any ANY ANY flights at all from denmark to the Faroes on Saturday or sunday after our arrival in Denmark
- let me see
- we will arrive in Hanstholm at 18:00 Danish time
- and AND AND ??? what about the flights?????
- there is one from Billund at 21:15
- WILL I MANAGE TO CATCH THAT FLIGHT
- no you will missit by 15 minuites
- what abour Copenhagen????
- there is one flight from CPH at 10 in sunday morning
- I LLLl take it
- and there is another one at 08:55, -That I will take so how much will this cost me, - let me see 150 USD for the trip to Denmark and 180 USD for the flight from CPH [pretty expensoive 3 hours of sleep in non five star hotel]- ok no problemo - and then I went through Aarhus, saw north Jylland and met Mette & Liv, Trine was in Spain, Jesper was in wedding party, Thomas was about to leave to Vietnam, Sherry was in China and Madjed did not Answere the same is walid for Steens and Stefans numbers, and saw Fyn in the night, and Copenhagen once again, I was there if there was any reunion but the only one, and I had a Danish beers on Kastrup the airport and managed to go to the Tórshavn citycenter at 13:00 on sundey so I did not miss any of the official festival and ended up dancing Faroes Folk dance at the same spot and the same time together with the president of the pairlament.
So this was very giving travel, I met Hanna and she was fine.
