Travel Day: From Ólafsvík to Hrafnagil (by Akureyri)
[The five hour drive happened on Sunday 19 July 2015, but is finally being written up on 28/29 August 2015. I’m very very stubborn.]
We’d made arrangements to stay with our friends Kata and Jói who live in Hrafnagil by Akureyri for a few nights before heading back home.
Little did we realize that Ólafsvík is so far out on the Snæfellsnes Peninsula, that driving from there to Akureyri actually takes longer than driving straight from our home to Akureyri! It doesn’t help that the road from the Stykkishólmur turn-off by and large all the way to Staðarskáli is unpaved. Seriously people! Who represents you?!?!
Also not in our plans was the fact that the weather up north had sucked for pretty much the entire summer, and the weather forecast for our week there was dreadful. But, friends are friends, and the weather doesn’t matter nearly as much as the company one keeps, so we sucked it up and got in the car! (19 images total)
