London Bound

After 13 days and zero nights we are returning to London early.

I overestimated the number of days we would use by 2-3.

We circumnavigated the whole country. We only left out a few fjords. It's hard to believe that we missed any waterfalls! 

The only thing travellers might add in would be some time in the middle of the country if you are into more hiking and fishing. This should only be done with the use of a 4WD or motorbike.

We stayed at this Guesthouse in Holmavik (small fishing village). Good enough. Nice people.
Next day: After another long unsealed road, Stykkisholmur turned out to be a lovely spot. Having cancelled this accommodation we enjoyed lunch at a good cafe and had a look around. 
We then moved on and stayed in Arnastapi who had agreed to bring forward this non refundable booking.
The two seals who were rostered on the rest close enough for tourist photography. 
Part of a long cliff line made from lava flow reaching the sea approx. 4000 years ago.
Unhappy Artic Turn. Dive bombing us because we were too close to nest.Funny thing though.... We were just the latest guests behind that window.
This is a 'good' road in Iceland. Note the total absence of a shoulder. Almost all roading has this raw edge.
So now we are here, preparing for our flight back to London in the morning. Our generous hosts agreed to change our booking dates!
