2 little trips around Tórshavn

As I’m still trying to be patient, so that my post-ferry trip-seasickness goes away (and I’m not good at all at being patient).

So I’ve done yesterday and today only a little trip out of Tórshavn. Tuesday I visited Kirkjubøur and today Kollafjördur.

Kirkjubøur is the southernmost village on Streymoy island. The village is the Faroes‘ most important historical site, with the ruins of the Magnus cathedral from around 1300, Saint Olav’s church (Olavskirkjan), from the 12th century and the old farmhouse of Kirkjubøargarður, the oldest still inhabited wooden house of the world from 11th century.

Kollafjørður is also located on Streymoy island and stretches 7-8 km along the fjord with the same name and with a typical Faroese wooden turf church from 1837.
