Favorite thing: The island has a njumbe rof amenities for tourists and of course residents - the follwoing may be of use to you:
The post office is located close to the harbour. Open Monday to Friday from 12.30 to 13.30.
The supermarket open Monday to Friday from 09.00 to 17.30 & Saturday from 09.00 to 12.00.
They have a football pitch, a community centre and of course a fire engine. There is a nursery school, a camp site and oddly enough the have a music studio called Studio Oyravox.
The population is small, and with the ferry trip to Tórshavn being only 20 minutes, the residents are no doubt close enough, and far enough away from the capital to make life enjoyable.
Fondest memory: The scenery!

Eventually, the pair determined we were no threat and returned to their regularly scheduled grazing.

Nolsoy is the island across the bay from Torshavn. It's about a 20 minute boat trip away so makes for a great day trip. As you'd expect, it's much quieter than Torshavn, and the pace of life seems......
