First stop was the wool spinning and knitting factory of Toting at Syðrugøta. Here Rosemary bought five skeins of wool in natural Faroe sheep colours. Leonie bought a sweater like Randys and the boat captain, brown, roll neck with gold buttons on one side up to the top of the neck. There was a discussion as to which side the buttons should be for men and women.

Next on to an amazing church built in the 1990s because the village though their church was too small. Opened by the Danish Queen, fabulous blonde wood and amazing modern blue stained glass for alter pieces and side panels.

As we about to leave the coach broke down. We had an urgent meeting with the ferry and bus as the other side of the ferry. At first there was an attempt to hi jack another tourist bus. In the end a lorry, contacted on route by the coach company got us going with a tow start. Short drive through a tunnel to the village of Leirvík, which is the port of the ferry to Klaksvik on Borðoy. The view from Leirvík of Kalsoy and the other islands in the north is spectacular.
