On the way home.. cruising across the north Atlantic via the Faroe Islands. We docked at Torshavn - a very pretty little town which is the 'capital' of the Faroes. The Island is part of Denmark but seems to look after itself. 
It is famous for its beautuful red painted parliament buildings sitting on the quayside with stunning turf rooves - Tingane. Turf rooves are not uncommon across the town as we discovered when we went exploring.
We checked in the tourist information where we given 2 maps one detailed of town centre and the second a wider view of the surrounding area.... I mention this only because once we did start exploring in spite of having maps we got hopelessly lost and in fact spent a good hour in the suburbs of Torshavn trying to find coast path - more of that later....
We also asked about the viking sundial... of which the tourist person had no idea - but helpfully googled it and we found a approximate possible location.
This was near the Tinganes - meaning the parliament houses so off we went over past the old buildings and started scouring the rocks for the sundial carving. It didnt take long actually' and it was surprising clear given how old it was.
We walked up through the town heading for the art gallery. This took us through a fab little park with loads of trees and jungly bits - a welcome respite to all the town stuff and finally to the gallery. It was a nice airy space and once again full of interesting varied art. The gallery tries to convey the spirit of the Iskands and mostly it suceeds... There were a lot of landscapes some of which were really eyecatching and dramatic.
