The sun came out for our trip back to Keflavik to return the motorhome. One last shot from Porlakshofn and a few from the road: Our Last Supper – Oops! I mean breakfast -- with our farm-fresh eggs: Sights on the way to and in Reykjavik: Our last gas up: Last goodbye to the motorhome,…
Day 10 of Our Icelandic Road Trip
Rainy, windy day today as we completed our circumnavigation of Iceland. Our guest house tonight is in Porlakshofn. This is an interesting word, as the first letter is not in our alphabet. In Icelandic it looks like a strange “p” but it’s pronounced “th” like in “the”. We had lunch pretty late. After lunch views:…
Day 9 of Our Icelandic Road Trip
We’re remaining in Grundarfjordur again tonight, so today was a trip around the Snaefellsnes Peninsula. Here are morning sights. We started so early that even the sea gulls were still sleeping! I think this is our first breakfast on the road: Continuing westward on the peninsula, we had more interesting views...The ship’s shore excursion missed…
Day 8 of Our Icelandic Road Trip
Life is such an adventure! It was still rainy this morning, and the “gravel” road out to the street was really only dirt because this is a new development. The van slid backwards in the mud, and we got stuck. The construction workers across the way were on coffee break and we couldn’t reach the…
Day 7 of Our Icelandic Road Trip
We deviated a little from the Ring Road again as we headed from Husavik to Hvammstangi (another town I can’t pronounce). Here are sights between Husavik and Akureyi. We stopped in Akureyi, which was one of the stops on our cruise. It sure looked strange to see a large ship where our pretty little ship…
Day 6 of Our Icelandic Road Trip
Today we stayed in Husavik. However, we had an early morning upset -- AT&T cut off our e-mail. It's very frustrating to try to fix something like that from overseas -- especially when the "chat" function isn't working because it's the middle of the night at home. First stop was the Visitors’ Center, which was…
Day 5 of Our Iceland Road Trip
Today we traveled from Egilsstadir to Husavik. However, we deviated from the Ring Road for a very special waterfall. Here are sights on the way toward Dettifoss. First a really nice one named Rjukandafoss, where we captured our first rainbow: Continuing on: Today’s lunch stop: This is Dettifoss, which seems to be in the Icelandic equivalent…
Day 4 of Our Icelandic Road Trip
Today is a day of rest(?) because we’re not driving to a new town tonight. The fog worsened overnight, so we cancelled our planned hike to the waterfall. Instead, we took a day trip to Borgarfjordur. It was dreary, but here are some of the sights along the way: And we found Lands End to…
Day 3 of Our Icelandic Road Trip
Today we’re going to cover some serious territory, and we’ll probably get into the hotel late. Good thing it’s still light at 10 pm! Here’s the day’s map: Our first find of the day was a giant chair attached to a boulder alongside the road: And, here’s today’s lunch stop: We had our first TWO…
Day 2 of Our Icelandic Road Trip
We woke up today in pain… The bed in this motorhome is NOT going to work. We have two choices, drive back and return it (probably without a refund) or go forward with nights spent in hotels. We chose the latter – it’s more expensive, but we have a refrigerator, a stove and a coffee…
