The last place I visited before I left the Faroes was Nólsoy, a small island 20 minutes across the water from Tórshavn. Shortly after I arrived, a friendly local invited me in for a coffee – foolishly I spurned the offer as I wanted to walk to the south of the island before the next ferry left. I soon regretted that badly, as lashing rain left me utterly soaked within a few minutes, and I gave up on the walk and sheltered in the town instead.
