Bye for now

Time to say good-bye to Iceland. We will visit you again. Next time, we would like to visit the east coast which we have not covered.

Akranes light house

Last minutes sightseeing at Akranes before heading off to Keflavik airport.

Akranes Youth Hostel

Day 9. Time to go home. Like others in Iceland, Youth Hostel in Akranes is clean and well organized. Nothing's to complain.

After check in at Akranes Youth Hostel, went out for dinner at a local Icelandic restaurant which was recommended by a lady at reception. It is not a most fancy one but the taste was great. Besides, we tried Stout beer by a brewery in Akureyri. This company is producing Viking brand beer which I also recommend for their pilsner products.

Sugar charge

After driving rough road, we had a break to charge sugar. It turned out much more sugar than we had expected but we felt satisfied and fatigue's gone.
BTW, our car got dirt and mud. The backside windshield was almost blocked by them without using the washer. However, no scratches or dents so far.

Drive to Akanes

About 400km drive in Westfjrods and to Arkanes. When driving the south coast line of Westfjords, about half of the mileage was gravel road. Construction works for renovating the road was ongoing and the condition of the road was partly bad and rugged.

Ghost sip?

Ghost ship in Iceland? No, according to the explanation, this boat came from Norway and it is the oldest iron ship in Iceland.

Cliff again

Day 8. We woke up 5.00 and drove to the cliff again to take pictures of birds in morning sunlight. Some already had left their nests and we say fewer birds than yesterday but some other were still staying on the cliff. Happy to see you guys again!
