We had a long day, 380 km in total. That doesn't sound like all that much, but a large proportion of it was on gravel roads which requires quite a bit of vigilance. Our first stop was Skagafjordur Heritage Museum in Glaumbaer. I thought it was interesting because the farm house, a sod structure, was restored to what it would have been 200 years ago. It was a large structure which was outfitted as it would have been when occupied. It actually looked comfortable.

The most interesting thing at this site was a memorial to Gudridur Thorbjarnardottir and her son Snorri Thorfinnsson. Well, that certainly is a mouthfull to pronounce. The big deal here is that Snorri was born in Newfoundland at L'Anse aux Meadeaux around 1000 when the Vikings had a colony in the new world. Snorri has the distinction of being the first European child born in the new world. I thought that was cool. The reason for the memorial is that mom became a nun after traveling all over the world and became a hermit at Glaumbaer.

The gastronomic highlight of the day was a stop for some fish soup at the Geitafel Seafood Restaurant. It was really excellent. Ginny and I split an order which was plenty for both of us.

We did some other stuff along the way then settled down for the final leg to Drangsnes which took about 2 1/2 hours. There was a lot of gravel road along the way. Happiness is pulling into the parking lot at the hotel at the end of the day.
