Coastal Driving In Dalur

Never heard of Dalur? Don't feel bad, I hadn't either. It's on the island of Sandoy. Wait, never heard of that either? You're still not alone. It's one of the 18 islands that together form the Faroe Islands. Dalur is Faroese for valley, and it's probably no shocker that the village of Dalur lies in the bottom of a valley.

The drive there is along a somewhat narrow road along the coastline. It's not too scary though considering there's guard rails, but you still have to be alert for oncoming traffic. Not that there'll be a ton of that, but occasionally you may come up against another car or small truck and need to pull to side to let traffic pass, depending on which direction you're headed. The road system is pretty good in the Faroes, and there's generally frequent pull-outs just to make this sort of thing more manageable.
