The next stop was checking out the village of Gjógv. Located on the north end of Eysturoy, Gjógv (the name means "Gorge") is a rather picturesque village located next to a... gorge. (As an aside, if you look at the translations, most of the villages in the Faroes actually have pretty unimaginative names like "Big valley" or "West village").

As Faroese villages go, this one is popular with tourists, and a lot of Danish people seem to come here and rent homes for the summer, so unlike most villages it was quite busy.

Oh, and I see that nobody took me up on the pronunciation challenge. The best English spelling approximation I could give is "djiv"



The village has a great view back over to Kalsoy where we had hiked earlier that day:



Really hard to pick out in this photo, but there's a white spec that is the Kallur lighthouse where I took that cool photo:



Because of the narrow gorge, it has what looks like a fairly nice harbor:



That is, until you see what the water's like going into the harbor. This harbor is only for the hardcore rower!
