We traveled a bit over 400km today from Reykjavik (the capital of Iceland) to Akureyri (the capitol of North Iceland, at least according to the tourism office). It took more than 8 hours with breaks but no real sight-seeing (unless you count comparing gas station shops), and it was hard to get good photos through the window of the bus.
Here are a few snapshots from the trip.
When we reached Akureyri, our tour director told us that there wouldn’t be a Northern Lights expedition tonight because the conditions weren’t expected to be good. You could hear a sigh of relief go through the bus!
We’ll be in Akureyri for three nights, but we won’t have much time to explore the town. We took a very short walk after dinner; stores were already mostly closed by 7pm!
