A day trip

Thor said we could take the car and drive around on the weekends. So today we made a day trip to Borgarfjordur (don't know if I got the name right, because I can't remember it by heart.. but something like that). That's a small village (or maybe just a village, there's about 200 inhabitants which is quite a lot..) The village looked... well, quite dead. I don't know how to describe it. We just thought why someone would move there because it was so isolated. It looked like a fishing village as it was by the sea.

The way to Borgarfjordur was quite interesting. :) The road looked quite big in the map but blacktop ended quite soon after Egilsstadir. There were lots of sheep all around and they were really close to the road. And they didn't really care even if we drove! We had to drive over a mountain. The road was still quite bad and there were no fences in the side. But it was a very beautiful way. I mean, we don't have mountains at home and although this wasn't very high it was still impressive.

On the way back we drove to the other side of the lake and then around it back to Hallormsstadur. The road wasn't so good over there either but we managed. :) Iceland is really impressive, I'm looking forward to see more! :)
