With rain forecast everywhere in the Faroes, the decision was made to make it a driving day. After a casual start with breakfast and showers at the Eidi campground, we stopped in Nordskali at the Magn gas station for coffee before heading up the other side of the fjord on a single-lane road to visit Fossa.
Passing back across the Nordskali bridge, we took the mountain tunnel and continued east, taking another mountain tunnel to Leirvik before using a subsea tunnel to cross to the island of Bordoy and the town of Klaksvik, second largest "city" in the Faroes. Passing through, we continued northeast through more tunnels until we crossed the causeway to the island of Vidoy. One more tunnel saved us the "old route" around the cliff, and before long we were exploring the scenic village of Vidareidi.
After checking out Vidareidi and the bird and rabbit sanctuary partway out the old shore road, we returned through the tunnel and back across the bridge to Bordoy, traversing the island to take another causeway to the island of Kunoy. This island has about 3 km of road, and a 3km dark single-lane tunnel through the mountain to the village of the same name.
We walked around the village in the rain and used the public washroom at the local campsite, though it was closed for the season for camping. Across the water to the west, we could see the rugged island of Kalsoy, which we would visit in the coming days for an epic hike.
Retracing our way back through the dark tunnel, including several pullout stops for oncoming traffic, we meandered back across the causeway to Bordoy and down to Klaksvik for some excellent fish and chips at NOA in the harbour, right by the ferry terminal to Kalsoy. NOA has two parts, a food truck that sells the food and a small dining building where you can eat out of the rain. Judging by the locals lined up, a lot of their business is takeout.
We took our leftovers and made the drive back through numerous tunnels to Aeduvik campground. In the rain, the camp was much busier, with several other vans, a number of tenters and a group of motorcyslists all huddling in the common area. We had a simple dinner of leftover fish, fresh bread and a boil-in-bag stew.
