In reply to Ste Brom:
I worked in Runavik last November for a Month. Torshaven is the main place for larger food shops , hotels and bars and civilisation.
The rest of the Islands are sparsely populated with small villages with few amenities, the selection of different Haribo will blow your mind though !!!
The scope for new routes is truly stunning with huge areas of unclimbed rock all over the place. I can't comment on busses as we were in company transport. The Taxis are bloody expensive !!!
