The next day was the day to check out of this hotel and drive to the Hofn area, about 4 hours to the east. Since it was a driving day, we weren't in a hurry so I was able to get a full photo shoot of the full breakfast spread.
3 different varieties of skyr.
Cod liver oil - this was available at every hotel we stayed in!
Chia seed porridge - my wife became addicted to this and had this just about every day.
I also had more bacon, Icelandic pancakes etc. like the day before.
Some shots from the road:
We even saw some wild horses running along the road... we just barely caught it on video:
After a couple hours of driving, we stopped in the small town of Vik for some lunch. We stopped at a cafe called Halldorskaffi:
The menu... it was an expensive lunch - the current rate of exchange is about 130 kr per US$. When they say trout, it's what we in the US would call arctic char.
It was perfectly cooked and delicious - the char we had on this trip was easily the best I've had, probably because this fish was probably caught either the day before or that morning.
Icelandic lamb fillet
The interior. The lamb was really tender and flavorful - very lean. The root vegetables had a strong flavor of black pepper.
