Has anyone been there? I am looking for advice for a 3 day trip.
Thanks

It's been in my bucket list for a while, but that's after I did Iceland, Norway, and Svalbard.

Why are you considering the Faroes over these other places?

No points hotels

I have done portions of Norway already and the flights work better for me.
Also, they are so exotic, so why not?

I got airbnb for $95 a night with everything included. Can't complain

Advice needed-
I'm flying through Copenhagen and Manchester with my food. I shouldn't have issues with customs there?

In terms of flying within the EU I did not have a problem. I just flew JFK>KBP>LWO, KBP>PRG>BRU>EDI>LCY, & MAN>MIA. No one said boo.

what made you think it was a reply to that question? Besides, would rules from 1810 really make a difference?

I stumbled upon the book a number of years ago researching something totally unrelated to the location.

Interesting. But it seems like the optical illusion is due to the position of the picture. Not that interesting to actually see it.
