    Journeymen from Germany visiting Island

    Some unusual visitors are currently on the Island for TT.

    A group of Journeymen are here from Germany, following a medieval tradition which means they can't use modern technology like mobile phones. 

    The tradition involves traveling for 3 years after finishing an apprenticeship as a craftsman, looking for work and shelter along the way.

    If you see the gentlemen they will most likely be looking for somewhere to stay or some ways to use their skills - feel free to ask if they need anything!
