We tooked a day trip to Mykines because we wanted to see puffins. And the trip was a success. We saw thousands of puffins. All puffin species have predominantly black or black and white plumage, a stocky build, and large beaks. Their short wings are adapted for swimming with a flying technique under water. In the air, they beat their wings rapidly (up to 400 times per minute) in swift flight, often flying low over the ocean's surface. #faroeislands Day Trip, Swift, Wings, Success, Swimming

The Faroe Islands are very nice place - calm and beautiful. The land is rugged and has a subpolar oceanic climate: windy, wet, cloudy and cool. Despite its northerly latitude, temperatures average above freezing throughout the year due to the Gulf Stream. #faroeislands Nice Place, Calm, Ocean, Places

Maybe the most idyllic place in Faroe Island is Saksun. Saksun is a very small village. Saksun lies in the bottom of what used to be an inlet of the sea, surrounded by high mountains. The inlet formed a good deep natural harbour, until a storm blocked it with sand. The old harbour become an unaccessible seawater lagoon, only accessible by small boats on high tide. #faroeislands

There is a lot of old houses both apartment buildings and detached houses. Almost all of them was builded of bricks. A facade was red bricks and a inner court yellow ones. The reason was rational - yellow brics are cheaper. Brics, Odense, Red Bricks, Oslo, City Life, Detached House

A very nice place to spend a day is only a few kilometers from Aarhus city center. The park of deers. We have a sac full of carrots with us but deers were already full. In the park where were also wild boars. Luckily behind two fences. A route from the park to centre was beautiful and we saw nice looking houses alongside the sea.

Danish love to ride a bike. You can see cyclists riding very fast and without helmets everywhere. In Finland we have to secure our heads. We are almost like criminals if we don't use helmets - it really is illegal. Cyclists, Helmets, Finland, Danish, Bike

We got a great view over Copenhagen from the Round Tower. It was built in a 17th-century and located in central Copenhagen. Originally it was an astronomical observatory. It is most noted for its 7½-turn helical corridor leading to the top. Astronomical Observatory, Round Tower, Corridor, Great View, 17th Century

The cutest thing in the Round Tower was a little bench - Kyssebenken. We have to say that it was a good place to kiss. Almost on the top of Copenhagen. Take A Break, Benches, Kiss, Sayings
