So we reached the end of August. And we have 2 days left with our campervan adventure. We’ve seen lots and lots of interesting and beautiful things – we’ve been very satisfied with our holiday, and the campervan proved just about right for us, so much so we’re planning on buying one of our own.
Today we started off with a visit to the excellent Textile Museum in Akureiri – it was really interesting and the lady there was extremely helpful with her explanations.
We then moved on further West on road no. 1 (the ring road) and went to the Seals Museum in Svalbarði, followed by a drive along the fjord to see some live seals, lazing around on the rocks in the bay.
Driving along we climbed to the top of a small volcano in Viðei, where we also went and see a lava cave, a mile long. We didn’t go inside the cave, as we didn’t have the right equipment, but I’m sure it would have been great.
To end the day, we went and see a couple of waterfalls in Hravnafoss and Barnafoss. Barnafoss had water coming out from the rocks in the mountain, going from underground directly to the river. Seeing all these things makes you want to grab a whole lot of books and start reading and studying all these natural phenomena and a whole bunch of history, then, once you get home, you get stuck on facebook and that’s it…
