third day
Our third day started the same as before. Up really early, breakfast, leave. Today I was the driver of the team in Hov (what mom did yesterday, today she was in Vagur). It was very foggy and nothing happened. The most exciting thing was seeing a man rounding up his geese and putting them in his pickup. We were supposed to go to the lighthouse on the southern tip of the island at least once, so we drove there at around 11 and said hi to mom's team. The store in Vagur was closed until 3 so we made our potty break in Porkeri and continued on to the lighthouse. To get from Vagur to the lighthouse we had to drive through an insanely long tunnel, two way this time, but no lights except ours. The view at the lighthouse was amazing, right on top of a cliff with lots of seagulls flying around and of course lots of sheep. Nothing happened there either. Only a couple of cars came and left immediately, we think we might have blocked their sunday outing viewpoint. One family did get out of their car but made sure to keep their backs on us. We drove back and stopped at the Vagur grocery store for a potty break and hot chocolate, where we ran into mom and her team. Nothing happened at their lookout either. We returned to Hov where shortly after our arrival our team leader arrived to pick me up. I was supposed to take the new rental car to the other house and pick somebody else up and continue to the other lookout close to it. The car was the first 6 gear car I've driven and at first I couldn't figure out how to get it into first gear, because the reverse gear was towards the front left. Naturally I stalled it quite a few times, before I figured out that you had to push down for reverse gear and that the front left was the first as usual. So I picked up ### and drove to the lookout. Nothing spectacular there either. We watched some shepherds and their dog inspect their sheep then headed back.
