Patreksfjörður
I found a very nice homestay Guesthouse Stekkabol in Patreksfjordur and spent the night there because it was chilling outside. Had a nice dinner of instant noddles and single malt while watching the clear skies outside. Quite a spectacular view.
Day 12
Látrabjarg
I checked out a few nice locations surrounding Patreksfjordur and while doing that, the road conditions were so bad that i had a flat tire while returning from Latrjabarg. Changing tire in those windy conditions was a big challenge and a local farmer turned out to be my saviour in distress. I had to hurry back to town to get it repaired and fortunately for me there was one shop which was open and helped me get a replacement.
Apotek Hostel & Guesthouse
I drove through the Westfjord roads and finally reached Akranes, where i booked the Akranes HI hostel for the night. Slept like a baby after the drive through the winding roads and my bottle of Ardberg whiskey helped me relax a fair bit.
Day 13
Old Akranes Lighthouse
Next morning’s first stop was the Akranes Lighthouse. You will be met by an incredibly friendly gatekeeper with whom you shall start gossiping within a few minutes. The climb to the top is tough for tall people but the views are worth it. He gave me a really good idea to photograph the old ships at the port. I was really impressed by the weather that day and did the best I could to do justice to the abandoned ship.
