2021 G! Festival
Syðrugøta (Faroe Islands) on July 16, 2021
The one festival that wasn’t supposed to be canceled this summer was the G! Festival in the Faroe Islands. Well, this is what the festival looked like on what was to be day two. Very peaceful. As if nothing was supposed to happen here.
The festival was canceled less than a week before due to Covid fears. The country was approaching a 7-day average of new cases that may have hit (are you ready for this?) double digits. That’s right the average had gone up to 7 new cases a day when they said this outdoor festival couldn’t happen. A ridiculous reason to cancel an outdoor event in my opinion, especially since most of the country is vaccinated, vaccination or a negative test was required for entry, and there has been a grand total of one, yes only one, death due to Covid in the Faroe Islands in the past year and a half. Meanwhile, instead of going to the festival, you could walk into a small, indoor bar (without any checking of vaccine status or a recent negative Covid test result) on the Faroe Islands and drink right next to 10 or 20 other people for hours before watching live music that went on indoors from midnight until 4 a.m.!
Anyway, I’m sorry the festival didn’t happen, but I’m really glad I got to visit the Faroe Islands.

Bakken revisited
Bakken’s Sure Taeer
I made it back to Bakken, the world’s oldest amusement park, this summer for the first time in 13 years. According to my Danish friend, the same family has run this business for over 400 years!
The game in today’s photo has you sitting on a toilet while you spray the guy in the bathtub! The English translation of the official page says “It’s fucking fun!” Obviously, Denmark is a little more open to things than many parts of the world.
The Diageo Claive Vidiz Whisky Collection in The Scotch Whisky Experience
The Scotch Whisky Experience (Edinburgh, Scotland)
An empty bottle collection would have been far more impressive. This seemed like a bit of a waste.
The Scotch Whisky Experience seemed silly at first, but by the end I enjoyed it. I don’t know if that would have been the case without Covid as the crowds are usually pretty bad I hear. I didn’t wait at all or need to buy a ticket in advance like most people, and my tour included five people instead of the normal 20+.
