FAROE ISLANDS

... Interesting postcard with the facts and figures of some of the wildest islands in Europe...  and most fascinating and remote... I'm not really a big fan or collector of all these *special* series postcards... but you don't often get the chance to swap for a W&S from there... and not at all with such a great selection of beautiful stamps (I like the back more than its front😉)... found a nice story about how there postal system works... Thanks a lot Marko!!【ツ】

The self-governing nation has a well-developed communication network - courtesy of the Kingdom of Denmark of which it is part - but many still rely on the postal service.

Some of the islands are connected by tunnels and bridges, but on others, mail bags arrive by boat or even helicopter.

 A network of hard-working postal workers then criss-cross islands on old mountain routes used since the 19thC delivering the post.

The fittest people used to be nominated to walk these routes, but these days 4x4 postal vehicles cross the rugged terrain.

Meet some of them:
