Faroe Islands - July 13th 2002

This year we took a week family holiday to the Faroe Islands. (I mean family holiday, the daughter came on holiday with us. Some confusion, we think she thought she was going to Egypt!!). The holiday was booked through Explore Worldwide, who run small group holidays to various parts of the world. We had been with Explore last year when we visited Georgia and Armenia.
We left home at 6.00 am to catch the plane from Gatwick, with beautiful blue sky. The flight out of Gatwick was good, with beautiful cumulus clouds popping up all around. Soon over the North Sea and into continuous cloud.
