West Fjords Pit Stop

A megameter is tough to travel without at least one mechanical. Good thing that Papa got lots of help on this one.

One Sick Doesn't Mean we aren't having Fun!

Hólmavík

A beautiful fishing village in the eastern nook of the west fjords. We enjoyed the late night serenade of Iceland's top country crooner. A welcome respite to the calm quiet of the night. The morning greeted us with shivers from our super-z and now we turn south and west to our summer home in Iceland's capital.
