Heydalur

Oh my, talk about luxury. The farm is at the back of a fjörd, and easy to find. Our room is very simple, but clean and warm. We were enchanted, and then we had breakfast. Good heavens. The common room is the entire old barn structure, with a high vaulted ceiling and a stunning view of the valley. Oh, and may I say, “heated floors?”

We were the only guests last night, but you wouldn’t know that from the meal laid out for us. Smoked salmon, pickled herring, giant block of cheese, three types of bread, fruit, cereal, skyr, eggs, cucumbers, tomatoes… It was impressive and delicious. I’m not sure what we’re having for dinner, but I’ve just peaked at the kitchen and it’s a full restaurant-quality room of stainless steel and gleaming porcelain.

I think we may have lucked out.

We went for a walk up the valley by the river today. The only decision we have to make now is if we should go to the hot springs before dinner or after. Or both.

  1. So – what was the decision? I would also have to make a decision on whether continue on the trip or stay there for the duration.

  2. Oh, wow. I’m with -d- above — with eats like that, and a good view to boot, who wants to keep travelling. It sounds like you’ve already arrived.
