Sunday - day 5

Nick ended up missing the hike and wanted to make up for it by going somewhere Sunday. I wanted to go to Nolsoy at some point so we agreed to meet at 10:00 to catch a ferry to Nolsoy. The only problem was, we didn’t actually know what the ferry schedule was and there was a mini hurricane going on. I missed the bus down to the harbor and took the 40 minute walk down in the wind and rain, regretting the decision to go. I met up with Nick and he still seemed up to going. We found the schedule and found that we had just missed the ferry and that the next one wasn’t until 1:00.

On Sunday, nothing in Tórshavn is open. We were hungry and needed some shelter against the wind. The lounge of the Hotel Hafnia was open so we warmed up inside and used their internet. We went up to the restaurant there for lunch. It’s pretty fancy and expensive, although the food was delicious. There was a family there all dressed up and two of them were wearing the national costume. The service was kind of slow though and we ended up staying there until past 1:00. Outside the window though, you could see the howling wind thrashing the trees and the rain go by horizontally. I wasn’t in any hurry to catch any ferry.

We just went home afterwards and of course, around 2:00 it cleared up and there was beautiful sunny, blue sky. I spent the rest of the day reading.
