Lofoten is on the UNESCO list of world heritage is situated north of the polar circle in Norway.

Lofoten Islands is also No. 2 on The Observers list of 20 paradise Islands around the world.
Nowhere does the midnight sun shine to greater effect than on Norway's Lofoten Islands, anchored above the Arctic Circle. Their purple mountains and green meadows, bright fishing boats and rust-red cottages on stilts are mirrored in Caribbean-blue sea.
Edgar Allen Poe described the seas around as 'lashed into ungovernable fury... .The main tourist islands, Austvagoy, Vestvagoy, Flakstad and Moskenes, appeal to writers and artists as well as outdoor enthusiasts, with climbing, hiking, riding, canoeing, biking, rafting and fishing highly popular. Puffins, cormorants, guillemots, eagles and seals bring in the wildlife watchers. For anyone with Viking ancestry a visit to the new Viking museum at Borg is a must.

The Canal du Midi or Canal des Deux Mers (Occitan: Canal de las Doas Mars / Canal del Miègjorn) is a 240 km long canal in the south of France, le Midi. The canal connects the Garonne River to the Étang de Thau on the Mediterranean. The original purpose of the Canal du Midi was to be a shortcut between the Atlantic and the Mediterranean, avoiding the long sea voyage around hostile Spain, Barbary pirates, and a trip that in the 17th century required a full month of sailing.

Faroe Islands - Færøyene - selected photos

Play the high quality video version right here.

With only 1,5 day at disposal it is limited how much of these 18 islands making up the Faroe Islands in the middle of the North Atlantic you can experience. I could cover just 2 islands: Streymoy and a little part of Eysturoy. Still I think yhis is the best I could do in the short time. The travel was to last 2 more days but was shortened as the ferry line Smyril was either delayed or shortened by disposal sue to the weather situation.


The Faroe islands – Færøyene is a most special place to visit, and also including the ferry travel as I did from Bergen, Norway and out there was part of the experience.
