At 8.30 we left the hostel, with the ambitious aim to drive a road trip to the western fjords (Vestfirðir). At 2 pm, we arrived in Isafiörður for a short visit, and continued the "shortest" way back to the hostel. The plan was to make a circle, going counterclockwise around the west fjords. Already on the way back, we faced a gravel road and took it, of course, what other choice did we have- it's the only way back. But then: snowy conditions on the road, and we were not able to continue. So, we had to go back. From 8.30 until 3.30 - 5 hours - and now back again. NB: Try to avoid traveling too ambitiously. On the way back, from 3.45 to 4.45, we took nevertheless the time to take a little walk onto the Sandafell. At 10.30 or so we finally arrived at the hostel. A loooong day in the car, with three times at the gas station, and lots of beautiful views of snow, fjords, abandoned farms and other nice objects to take photos of, of course. It was an adventurous day, maybe too many risks have been taken, but it was with the effort - Vestfirðir: check.
(Btw, no trace of the northern lights so far...)
One huge dinner and a very short and rather cool stay in the hot tub, then beeeeed, finally :)
