next, we're off to the remote faroe islands, an archipelago of 18 volcanic islands in the atlantic oceanr language. they chant still to come on the travel show... the deep south by car, and the black forest by train. and the scottish porridge wars. it is purists against hipsters in the land of milk and honey. welcome to the part of the show that tackles your questions for getting the best out of travel. coming up... but first, october marks the official opening of the qe2 as a floating hotel in dubai. since she first set sail nearly half a century ago, the qe2 has circled the globe 25 times. for the past decade she has been languishing at port in dubai after several false starts to refit her. finally the work is done and she is welcoming guests on board once again. next, christine evans has a lovely idea to celebrate her son's 50th birthday. she says he has never been to italy, and she wonders... a number ofairlines sell gift vouchers, but i am not in favour of them because they restrict the flights you can take. similarly, hotel chains sell gift cards, but again you are restricting choi

the tiny faroe islands are pushing to be allowed to compete as an independent nation at the olympics.s. this is the capital of the fair isle is, far away from everywhere. 900 kilometres, 700 miles to the danish coastline. people here have their own way of life, their own culture, language, they have their own government which rules on everything apart from a few elements of foreign policy. that is why they want this olympic recognition. they are being refused and people here, especially have think it is unfair. they are determined to fulfil their olympic dream. stunning scenery in a land miles from anywhere, and with isolation comes a strong sense of national identity, but the faroe islands is facing an uphill struggle for sporting independence. football already offers these faroese fans a chance to express their patriotism through sport, as the national team is recognised by fifa. the players want the same for everyone. we‘re actually playing for the other sports as well, because they never get that feeling like we do, because we‘re representing our country, you can represent the fla

we look into why athletes from the faroe islands are being refused the chance to represent their countrybut still not enough to win the game. hello and welcome to the programme, where we start with uefa nations league football, and the news that spain's 100% record in the inaugural tournament has been brought to an end by england. gareth southgate's side were 3—2 winners in seville, the first time in their history that spain had conceded three goals at home in a competitive international match, with raheem sterling picking up two either side of a marcus rashford goal. watching on was our sports editor, dan roan.

the faroe islands is unique in many ways, not least its dramatic landscape, but also its remote location in the north atlantic, and the people here are fiercely independent. but as far as the ioc is concerned, it's still a region in the kingdom of denmark, and although it might be self—governing governing, that is not enough for a place in the olympics. in response, the ioc gave us a statement, referring to their rules and regulations which says all countries must be recognised by the international community. the prime minister told me it doesn't make sense. i can't understand it. i don't think it's logic. as i told you, we are a self governing country, and we do hold membership in a lot of international organisations, so it's a broken dream for a lot of our young people if they cannot compete at the olympic games. the faroes are investing heavily in sport, but without olympic medals to aim for, the fear is future generations won't reach the heights of their full potential. alex capstick, bbc news, the fa roe islands. and the weather. this glorious scene is fife just a couple of hours ag
