We arrived at Djupivogur and again greeted by flat seas, sunshine and blue skies. There is a storm behind us and they moved departures up today to get on shore before the storm arrived. However, they warned us that it would not be a beautiful day like we had yesterday. But here we are with the same beautiful weather. Maybe we will have this storm following us and we keep ahead of it that would be fantastic.

Today we did a 4-wheel drive jeep over the island. Most of those in our group are on this same excursion. We ended up with a vehicle for 12 and all but two Australian girls were in our jeep.
Jim & Stacy, Kim & Alice, Ed & Michelle, Dick & Kate, plus me & Ken. This was a great tour that we all enjoyed. The topography was really interesting, with rock faced cliffs, green moss. Extremely rugged terrain. Plus there was a huge number of swans and most permanently stay in this town.

The 4-wheel part of the trip was “truly” a four-wheel adventure. We went very high into the mountains on gravel roads with spectacular scenery. During the trip we walked to two different waterfalls. They were just a short walk not a long hike.

We got back to the ship and the weather was still good. Overcast now but no rain or wind. We had our welcome get together planned for 3.00 pm in the Observation Lounge which is on deck 9. I was worried it may get rough. However, although the wind picked up it did not get rough until around 7.00 pm and then it was pretty heavy seas during the night. Pictures will follow.

We are now in the Faroe Islands and we decided to stay onboard and turned in our tour tickets. We have been here several times before. Fortunately, at 10.00 am right as the tours started to leave the weather brightened up and the rain stopped. Now there are patches of blue sky!
