Into the north of the country
We spontaneously took a two-day vacation and drove to the north of Iceland, at least as far as Sauðárkrókur.
We visited the basalt rock of Hvítserkur, the Kolufossar waterfalls, and met Jón Ósmann. We ate delicious Black Forest cake and Frankfurt crown cake at Kaffi Schwarzwald in Helluland. We fought in the Battle of Iceland in 1238.
On the way back, we stopped briefly at the church village of Glaumbær. My husband at least didn't ring the church bell at Blönduos' new parish church. Finally, we visited the seal center in Hvammstangi. After that, we drove straight home.
I'll tell you more about the individual stops on our vacation in the next blog posts.
By the way, we first visited Sauðárkrókur in 2004, on our first trip to Iceland, where we stayed at Hótel Tindastóll. We've barely changed in the past 21 years - the Hótel Tindastóll and I, don't you agree?!?
