Has anyone visited the Faroe Islands or Iceland? I'm headed out that way shortly and would appreciate any tips or places to check out.

In other news I bought a motorcycle. Unfortunately in order to ride in Germany, I need a license from California. Which you need to apply for in person. I assumed I would be able to get my license during a short visit last week, but after 4 hours of waiting I had to leave the line in order to make the wedding I was there for. I'm guessing I'll have to send a whole bunch of emails and cross my fingers for this to work.

Trumps treatment of the Baltics is absolutely infuriating. Our support/article 5 is the biggest thing they have in an extremely precarious situation and here we are ready to say screw it all

I went to Iceland last year ! I did this map to prepare for the trip, it might help you, target what you want to see : https://www.google.com/maps/d/edit?mid=18uWnQ0053LtnbjZp0X09FcjU7eY&ll=65.45996267168805%2C-20.252259514062416&z=6

Here is my tripreport on Hubski :

How long will you be staying there ?

Dude! That's incredible. Those pictures are absolutely gorgeous. I didn't think I could be any more excited, but here I am. I have about 5 hours total unplanned time in between now and the flight so you're an absolute lifesaver right now. Were there any reasons you didn't camp besides saving money? Our current plan is to use the public campgrounds along the way. 150 euros/two people for a week doesn't seem terrible.

We're going for 7 days, and then 3 in the Faroes. I wish we could spend more time(7 days is still fantastic), but I'm headed off to meet family in Amsterdam afterwords. I'm also hoping to climb Mont Blanc but we'll see how the timing works out.

That's some amazing plans ahead !

Main reason for not sleeping at campgrounds was that we didn't pack a tent with us. I wanted to have the campgrounds in the map to be able to sleep in the car in a safe spot but when we saw we had to pay we tried to find other safe spots being on a budget :)

Whoa, another Hubskier in Germany?? I thought it was just me and Cumol :D

Yeah man, I'm in Stuttgart. Should you ever head this way let me know, though the chances of me actually being here are quite slim

We should plan a meetup!

Apart from that, I am throwing a party on the 17th of November. Theme: "Drag or Leather", let me know if you can come :)

Sick! We're all southwest then :)

Maybe we can get another meetup together sometime…
