first adventures

The flight from Billund to Vagar went well with a great view of the Danish west coast. On our way in we didn't see much except cloudy peaks and then the runway. We saw the old airport building first which didn't appear inviting but right next to it was the brand new terminal building with two gates (one revolving door each). Free WiFi, nice bathrooms, a duty free store and one baggage roundabout is about all there is. A customs inspection dog sniffed every bag, very cute little guy. Outside was an ATM, an information desk, a car rental place and the check in area. We asked if we could use the phone to make the requested call to Lucas, but they told us it would cost 50 kroners (6 euros). So we asked at the airline desk and called but didn't reach anybody.
So we took the bus to Torshavn and talked to a guy while waiting. He was nice but then on the bus I made the mistake of telling him why we're here. He remained very friendly but tried to defend the Grindadrap with the usual arguments (it's a tradition, its humane, it's better than mass production meat farms bla bla). Anyway, the discussion remained civil and then he got off. The country side is amazing, very green, no trees, lots of little streams and water falls, road tunnels and lots of sheep. Sheep everywhere! On the sides of the road, no fences. The bus stopped right infront of the ferry terminal where a huge ship was already waiting. We still had lots of time so I left mom with the luggage and went to a grocery store to buy some fruit.
The ticket office was still closed when I returned so we confirmed at the kiosk that we only pay on our way back. Then we headed upstairs of the terminal building and went on board. At the reception desk I asked, to make sure, that this was the ferry to Suduroy. And thank god I asked because if I hadn't we would have ended up in Iceland or back in Denmark!!! They told us that usually the ferry left here at the terminal but since this other cruise ship was here we had to had go back outside and down the dock. That's what we did but no boat in sight, plus it didn't look very inviting. We asked someone and he told us that the ferry was late because of engine problems. So we waited and finally got on board. Departure time? Who knows....
