ICELAND - day 16

30.08.13
Not too bad a day overall, weather-wise – it was nice this morning, while we visited the Akureyri Museum, the Industrial Museum and the Aviation Museum.

We enjoyed all three, but maybe, the Industrial museum a little less, as the explanatory captions in English were few and far between…

We also had a walk through the town centre, taking advantage of the pale sun. We had confirmation from the info centre that the weather alert fot the highlands (and road no. 35) was confirmed, so we had to settle with route no. 1, continuing our counter-clockwise tour.
We stopped in Viðmyri to take a look at the “oldest and prittiest” (it was) turf church, then we headed to Blonduos, where we’re stopping for the night at a No. 1 petrol station.

The temperature is rather cold, and we had a little sleet mixed with rain earlier on. I’ll soon cuddle up in my sleeping bag…
