Photos - Day 9

24.6.2014

 June 24, 2014

I was a bit upset that the weather was grey on the day I planned to film the Faroe Islands. The ATC controller at Vagar airport had a different view - he thought I was very lucky the weather was great... The meteo statistics proved him right – for over 280 days a year the FaroeIislands are blessed with rain. When I finished filming the islands I refuelled and flew to Bergen in Norway. The flight took about four hours.
