Itinerary Change

Today we headed into the Western Fjords.

Tomorrow we head back out. 

There were far too many miles of gravel road for us to endure more over the next three days. It's not what we signed up for.

Also, the roads no longer cut through valleys or tunnels as often and by winding around every single fjord the distances add up.

Finally, the views of each fjord are a very close facsimile of each previous one. So close in fact that we didn't take any photos of them today.

So here is a photo of a sheep:

and a nice pizza:

And one for the children who ask 'where do the baby horses come from?'

That is it.

One of our hotels on the snaefelsnes peninsula agreed to bring forward our booking until tomorrow (nice). 

Tomorrow we will decide if we return to Reykjavic for more sleeps, or whether we can catch any earlier flight. 

We have thus concluded that unless you head inland for hiking or fishing side trips, 10-12 days is sufficient to see a lot of Iceland; especially when you have 21 hours of daylight.
