After the night out I slept till 11 o'clock. I felt a bit hungover after three Bacardi and Sprite mixers, I'm not really used to drinking anymore. But after breakfast/lunch and a shower I felt much better.
Today it seemed a little brighter outside, we could even see the mountains a bit further from here, and mainly, the wind had dropped. We decided to drive to another town called Suðavík. It's only a small community with a school, a church and a small harbour. In January 1995 several houses were swept by an avalanche and 14 people died. The whole village was moved about a mile down the road and nobody is allowed to live in the old village during winter. There wasn't much to see there, apart from a few nice looking houses, resembling the Canadian log cabins, which were apparently delivered in parts and assembled on site. The more interesting was the drive there along the fjord. We had to stop a few times for me to take photos, of course.;-)
The way they dry the fish:
And the shark's chunks:
On the way back I took a few pictures of Ísafjörðdur's landmarks.The church:
The library (it was an old hospital):
Sólgata (The sunny street - no sun there, unfortunately):
When we got back, we were invited to E's parents for the best pancakes I've ever had and real hot chocolate with whipped cream. My diet has gone completely...In the evening we ate the leftovers from last night's þorroblot dinner and just chilled out watching tv. Hope that another power cut doesn't stop us from finishing the Bucket list...
