It turned out that the crater we wanted to see was a backtrack of 40 miles, so we’ll see it next time! Went for a walk around Akukeyri this morning to stretch our legs. Hit the road about 10:00. Off to see Reykjahliðfoss Waterfalls. It was a nice little hike, saw people riding Icelandic horses (the horses are actually fairly small). In Blönduos, we ate lunch at an Ethiopian restaurant. They had a buffet for 2,750 ISK (about $20) but all the local construction workers eat there and there was nothing left. We ordered off the menu and had real Ethopian food with Injehra (Ethopian bread).
It turns out that the Hvitserkur Rock formation is actually not very big and is 25km down a pothole filled dirt road. The receptionist told us that if you drive fast enough, you won’t feel it! Maybe we’ll try that if we go back.
By the way an interesting Iceland trivia item. Iceland is completely metric, except pizzas which come 12” or 18” for example.
This is our last stop before returning to Reykjavik where we will return the car, get some rest and catch the shuttle to the airport first thing In the morning.
