The next part of our drive into the Faroese countryside took us to some small villages. In some , there were newer houses with an updated modern colour scheme, but a turf roof is still very popular – it provides good insulation.

The main religion in the Faroes is Lutheran and many churches dot the landscape.

Again, wandering around these sites usually results in a flower or two to photograph and enjoy.

And as we come to the end of this spectacular drive through some of the Faroese countryside, our adventure to the viking Islands must, unfortunately, come to an end. I hope you have enjoyed joining me for the journey! D
