Hey Ali! First of all, thanks a lot, I really appreciate the feedback and really glad that you found it useful! I’m afraid I don’t have an itinerary written down anywhere, but from the memory it was something like this:
Day 1: Arrived to Faroe Islands, rented a car, checked in hotel, went to Trelanipa hike (we were staying in Vagar)
Day 2: Helicopter flight (Torshavn to Klaksvik), Fossa waterfall, Tjornuvik for sunset
Day 3: Day trip to Mykines and Gasadalur in the evening
Day 4: Trip to Kalsoy, a brief visit to Vidoy and Klaksvik in the evening
Day 5: It was bashing rain the entire day this day, we went out quickly to Gasadalur again, but got soaked in minutes, so we mostly just remained in hotel
Day 6: Eiði, Gjogv and Funningur, another visit to Fossa waterfall in the evening, since it got much larger due to all the rain the previous day
Day 7: Hike to Drangarnir
Day 8: Flight back

A couple of advice – try to plan your visit so that you have at least one extra day. The weather on Faroes is completely unpredictable, so you have to have a contingency plan. That rain on day 5 screwed us up a bit, since we basically just lost a day. It was so wet and rainy that it was just impossible to do anything. Having that extra day will be handy for such scenario. Tip number two: if you plan on going to Mykines, try to get a helicopter flight there. We couldn’t get it, since it was all sold out for our dates, so we had to get the Torshavn to Klaksvik instead. It is also a great flight, perhaps even more beautiful than flying to Mykines, but we lost so much time getting back to Torshavn where we left our car. The flight was 15 minutes and we spent like 3 hours getting back. Still totally worth it, but I think flying to Mykines and taking a ferry back is much more time efficient.

Hope this helps!
