Far from the madding crowd

Sarah and I are off to Amsterdam for a week at the end of April. This will be her first Koninginnedag, so we’re hoping for mooi weer.

Sarah and I will be making our second trip to Iceland in August. Rather than touring the whole country, this time we’ll be spending just a few days in the capital of Reykjavík and then a few more in the town of Heimaey on the island of Vestmannaeyjar, located just off the south coast of the country. The latter destination will allow us to enjoy the unique thrill of the first flight of the year’s pufflings from the cliffs above Heimaey.

Punctuating those two excursions will be ten or so days on the Faroe Islands, or Føroyar as their inhabitants know them, one of the lesser visited European countries. If you’ve never heard of the place and have no idea what the islands are like, have a look at these photos.
