Greetings!
Today was a sailing day. I doubt if we saved time over driving. but the trip was restful. The main link for island living in the northwest, the ferry delivers tourists returning to the Reykjavik area, and fresh fish to their markets.
We disembarked at Stykkisholmur on the Snaefellsnes Peninsula, beneath the ice-capped volcano, Snaefellsjokull. Immortalized in Jules Verne's Journey to the Center of the Earth, the mountain today was obscured by a thick cloud layer which hung just above equally majestic sea bird cliffs. We drove the remaining 200 kilometers around the Peninsula, and made notes on what we might come back to see tomorrow.
The FossHotel group has provided us with the majority of our accommodations, and done a pretty good job of it. Located strategically in rural areas just out side of small towns, they have brought us clean, efficient, friendly service at a good price. But I have a complaint. What's with the cereal bowls? This morning's bowls were just deep enough for three corn flakes to reach the top. With a small splash of milk, it took about eight spoonfuls to take it all in. This contrasts with the soup bowls at dinner which one could make a complete meal.
