2025 ICELAND Bogarnes May 26

After a very good sleep and a nice continental breakfast at the hotel, we left town about 9:20 to head to the Snaefelsness Peninsula. It was cloudy and 47 with rain in the morning.  We put on our rain suits as it was windy also. We stopped at Ytri Tunga Beach and walked over some difficult rocks to look for the seals.  Saw a few but they were quite a distance away.  

We stopped at the Budir (black) church from 1848 and graveyard.  Then headed to Arnastapi (old fishing port) where we stopped for a caramel cake and hot drinks before walking up the hill to the Bardur stone sculpture of a mythical man/giant.  We stopped to see Svodufoss waterfall, it was super windy and very few people were there.  

We drove north along the shore of the peninsula to the town of Stykkisholmur.  Picked up some sandwiches to go at a bakery that had awesome rolls. We were back to our hotel in Bogarnes around 4:30, had a dip in the hot tub (not so hot after sitting overnight) and went to town for dinner at the Grillhusid. Kind of a bar/grill place where Kirk had pizza and I had a salad with chicken.  Both were really good and the service was great.  Back to the hotel to pack and relax before bed (no TV).
