Húsafell Departure
[Written 9 August 2013]
We needed to leave our lovely Húsafell abode by 12 noon on the Friday, after a whole week of loveliness. The adults therefore got up early, and started packing and cleaning, while the kids were told to go play on the jumping mat. I was rather comatose after a few too many nights of interrupted sleep, so I managed to pack our stuff, and mind Emma, but that was about it. Oh, and take a few pictures.
Finnur packing our foodstuffs.
Most of our stuff, ready for export to car.
Halli vacuuming our bedroom. (Why does vacuuming have two u-s?)
The other master bedroom, where Adda and Halli slept.
The third bedroom, where the kids stayed.
Anna on the lower bunkbed. Three kids slept on the bunkbed, while one kid slept on a mattress on the floor.
The swanky shower in the bathroom, seen from the hallway.
Because of the hot tub, the bathroom had a door leading straight to the patio. Very clever.
Almost done emptying the house, now we just had to clean. First the kids were sent off to play.
I took Emma on a drive around the Húsafell area to lull her to sleep. I randomly drove past this airport wind flag… and yes…
… here is the RUNWAY for the (very) local airport. 🙂 Very “secure”… hehe.
I found the kids as they were heading back home from the jumping mat. Bjarki was unhappy about something, so I got them to go back to the mat and show me their tricks.
But first: Flowers in a wooden “bucket”.
Anna doing a fancy trick on the jumping mat. It’s basically a large dug-down plastic sheet that’s continually being filled with air.
Anna doing a flip.
Bjarki doing a somersault.
The kids being cute.
The rather empty swimming pool (or rather, the local communal hot tub collection) next to the jumping mat.
A final food gathering before we drove back to the city.
And that was the end of that lovely week in the country. 🙂
