After a few busy days before holidays, I left Emile and Isabelle who will join me in a few days and took the road to the North. There are 1’200 miles waiting for me to reach Hirtshals, at the Northern tip of Denmark, where leave the only ferry that joins the Faroe Islands and Iceland. Obviously not the most fun part of the trip but you have to do it…
 
 
1. Boondocking in Northern Germany.
 

 
 
2. Arrived at destination in the middle of the afternoon the day before the ferry, I took the opportunity to discover an abandoned lighthouse in the middle of the dunes…
 

 
 
3. Enjoying a spectacular sunset on the North Sea.
 

 
 
4. …
 

 
 
5. …
 

 
 
6. I then went to sleep on the beach, East of Hirtshals, where the sunrise was colorful.
 

 
 
7. …
 

 
 
8. After a visit to a local hairdresser, visit the Hirtshals lighthouse.
 

 
 
9. It’s then time to go in line for VivaLaVida to board.
 

 
 
10. Right on time, the ferry lifted anchor towards the Faroe Islands, with a good gale announced for the crossing…
 

 
 
That’s it for this short update written on the ferry while it was beating quite a bit… 🙂
 
I will stop tomorrow for three days in the Faroes, to discover these islands that have attracted me for a long time…
 
To be followed soon !
