I am flying in from Reykjavik on the Monday along with two others apparently, (from foot.ie) and staying until the Friday Morning when I will return to Iceland

I havent got any accommodation booked, dont know whether to book something, or take a tent. (well I will be taking a tent anyway for iceland but that is btw)

If there are others who are like me and travelling solo and want to book some accom let me know

Booked everything bar the last Saturday. Going to see how the fixtures pan out before booking something!

Haven't had any problems getting anything so far though.

Try -

Giljanes@Post.Olivant.fo (Youth hostel and campsite in Midvágur, a mile from the airport)
TorsInfo@Post.Olivant.fo (Camping site in Tórshavn)

Or the likes of www.FaroeIslands.com or www.Tourist.fo. Outside of Tuesday to Thursday, though, you could possibly get away with booking ahead on the morning though.

We now have accomodation available for the Faroes, phone Collette for more details 01 4081900, places still available on day trip as well from E560 inc taxes.

Cheers for that, much appreciated

Hi

I dont know if this is much help to anyone, but we had originally booked a triple room in a B&B 10 mins outside of the city centre. We are now actually staying in a house that someone has rented on the island. I have just this minute cancelled the booking with Heidi at Smryll line ferries. if anyone is looking there for accomodation from the 6th-9th june it would be worth speaking to her now at 'heidid@smyril-line.fo'

She is really helpful

**Ash** · 16/03/2005, 3:42 PM

Just had an email from her today and shes gonna help sort
out an itenery around the islands and accomodation etc.

Fair play

**Babysis** · 16/03/2005, 4:23 PM

I might see if she can help me out with getting some traditional Faroese Headress

I got a load of us some green Berets for Paris that went down a treat in October, so I need to find something for this trip

Any word on those sleeveless fur bodywarmer yokes that were popular back in Viking times Maribor?!?!

**MariborKev** · 16/03/2005, 9:37 PM

That'll be Jens Martin Knudsen

That's brilliant!

Will be keeping an eye out in the duty free on the way out and the shops around the islands now!

**NeilMcD** · 30/03/2005, 3:18 PM

I did not apply for tickets for this game do people think that it will be be impossible to get tickets for .

**Babysis** · 30/03/2005, 4:46 PM

Not fussed about the fishing, but myself and Pat O agreed that tuesday would be spent out site seeing, doing tours etc.

Then Tuesday evening there is meant to be a faroese night in a pub in Torshavn. Its probably the only opportunity I will have to go to the Faroe Islands, so I plan to make the most of and see as much as possible. Might even do the Helicopter trip

same here although as it is mid week it seems that most places close early. heidi sent me out loads of info and map of torshavn.there seems to be a few good excursions. does anyone know what time the game is on at.what time is the faroese night on at. any info. was thinkin of going on fishing trip on the tuesday on a schooner at 7. but am arriving that day with standupforboysingreen, so i see what happens. seems to be a good few restaurants.one place even does a mexican buffet all you can eat

. also there is a burger king. as saint tom said to me the other week " it's gonna be whale whoppers all the way"

**Babysis** · 31/03/2005, 11:04 AM

Look it, Im sure most of us can get in contact with each other. So we could just make an informal arrangement to all see each other on the tues at the Faroese night (im sure we will have a time and location nearer the time).

Anyone who fancies site seeing on the Tuesday, well im sure we can all arrange something. Its only a small Island, so i doubt we will find it too hard to find each other.

I just hope to God that it's not like that episode of Father Ted where the only attraction is the stone out in the field!!

Maybe they've a Holy Stone of Clonrickert somewhere?

We will be in big trouble if there is a "Tom" character sitting on the wall to greet us, wearing an "I shot JR" T-Shirt and carrying a shot gun
