Camping in the Faroe Islands must be a special experience! I lived in the Faroe Islands for two months in the late 90s, and interned at the hospital there. The Faroe Islands are a fascinating society: just under 50,000 people on 18 islands in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean. The islands' cliffs are steep, the grass is green and the fog is often thick.

Sure, Lake Garda is beautiful, but Lago d'Iseo is almost even more beautiful! We drove there in the evening to find a campsite (which there are plenty around the lake), but they were all full!

The first night was in a car park, and the second night was incredibly beautiful right on the lake.
