A fairly uneventful flight – a bit late from Heathrow, but not enough to miss the next plane – so, met up with Janine, Sara & Steve at Reykjavik Airport – in order to fly on to Akureyri. As we headed North, so we got to see more & more snow on the ground. Akureryi itself is in a spectacular location, at the end of a long fjord – with the airstrip surrounded on all sides (well, 3 of them) by water.
Learnt Icelandic for “ripped” (it’s “rifin”) due to an accident with my case (luckily, nothing seems to have escaped!), picked up the car and headed off for Lake Myvatn (Midge lake), our first nights stop; a handy waterfall providing a photo and leg stretch opportunity enroute.
