Sat 9 sept REST DAY IN FJORD SEYDISFJORDUR

This is one of the waterfalls nearby by an electric station, the first hydro electric station  introduced to Iceland. There are many walking trails in this valley and we were able to park near and walk down to the falls.

It is really Autumnal now. The Rowan trees are turning orange and red. Some thrush like birds are busy devouring the berries in the trees.

As there was little wind this morning, we saw deep reflections. The waterfall is so pretty. We were there for a while exploring the path and admiring the views.

On our return to the town we went down to the harbour and took photos of the small boats and one sinking boat.

We met a family from London Ontario, he was a photographer and we got chatting about photo competitions and judges etc.

Time for a hot chocolate to warm us up. You may have 30*c in uk and France but we are between 5*c and 8*c today, rain later!

This is our quaint hotel and next to it the blue church.

This town is quirky, hippy, alternative. I’ll let my photos show you.

We went in two gift shops but prices were too high for us. Hope you like the troll dolls I photoed! 

There are murals and artistic buildings in town too.

We are resting up now as we have done a lot of travelling 

We move on tomorrow to near Hofn. Hofn was the furthest we got to last year, we have seen much more this year already that we didn’t see last year.

I love skyr yoghurt and the pastries they sell at every cafe

more querkiness…
