fourth day

Same procedure as every morning. I didn't sleep too well even though I moved to the couch because it was so windy outside that the draft in the house made the door to our room clatter. Some time in the middle of the night I stuck a piece of cardboard between it to make it stop. Mom went to the westcoast lookout Famjin today and went to the one near the other house again. This one is on the north end of the Tvoroyri fjord. It was still very windy and only limited visibility, then it started to rain so we could see even less. Nothing happened. The wind was so strong the parked car was shaking! And of course the windows fogged up and then we really couldn't see anything! We decided to drive back up to the house for a potty break, made some tea and drove back down. A couple of cars came and went as always. At this lookout post which is a dead end a couple of cars always come by. Either they don't have anything to do and just drive around for fun, they want to dump their trash and then decide otherwise because we're here or they spy on us. The others told me about the old man in the red pick up truck who has been harassing a couple of volunteers several times and has already been told off by the police. He still comes every day for a look.
It started clearing up a bit at around noon and I took a nice walk back up to the house and back. It was nice and sunny then!!!
An old man came by with his Labrador puppy called Panter and talked to us for a few minutes. So far we had only seen the ferry, no other boats, no whales. We took the car back because it needed to be taken down to the car shop to get the license plates fixed. We sat at the lookout point closer to the house for a while and talked to a man who had harvested his potatoes. He spoke Danish with us since I said "kartoffler!" but apart from where I was from and something about no whales today that was all I could understand and communicate. We returned to the lookout post and saw two ships, one medium and one large, probably trawlers. Then we had a photo shoot with the friendly sheep and decided to walk down to the cave. That was lots of fun and with amazing scenery. We almost got splashed by huge waves coming in. After we returned we met a boy with his dog Anton, very nice.
