Thursday Hotel Norð at Viðareiði on Viðoy

At the port of Klaksvik we caught the local bus to Viðareiði where we were staying the night. One excitement on the way was the single track tunnel with passing places. Part way through one tunnel an on-coming rubbish cart had to stop and reverse back into a passing place to let us pass. It was quite scary looking out of the front of the coach seeing the oncoming traffic.

Rosemary and Steve walked down to the local village church in Viðareiði. This village has sea at both ends. On the walk we saw a heron in some of the duck pens. Consternation, Paul and Richard had not seen it and wanted to go out and look for it. Near the church were a pile of sheep horns.

Supper in the hotel was either a set meal, or from the menu. Both Ian and Steve eat roast Puffin with a rich gravy. Randy had mentioned that the best way of serving Puffin was to have stuffed Puffin which would be served with the bird standing upright complete with head & beak. The Puffin had a strong game flavour a bit like grouse. The next table to ours was a large party, they must have eaten a whole colony of puffins.
