Day 31: Skjöldólfsstaðir to Egilsstaðir

The weather is the same as yesterday evening: low hanging clouds, it's cold and the guest house is still kind of spooky.
At least one of the two toilets are not in the best state, apart from that it is really cold inside. There might be a good reason why the windows are open.

Just a short important note: The toilets, the rooms, kitchens and whatever have so far been exceptionally clean on our trip around iceland.

We reduce our morning routine to an absolute minimum and head for Egilsstaðir. 52 easy kilometers. It is 12° Celsius but not really a problem today.
On the road an oncoming car signaled us to stop. Neighbors from back home, whom we didn't know before the trip until they realized through the Islandreise-Forum that we live a couple of hundred meters apart. Our sons loosely know each other from school.
They have a blog and they a did a cook book about icelandic recipes. It's a small world after all.

After some climb and some more downhill we arrive at Egilsstaðir's swimming pool with 17% battery. The free charger is blocked and we park the car without charging. It's great to shower again. And to have hot tubs!
The charger is still blocked when we leave the pool and wie drive to the charger from ON and charge there.We are getting photographed again and again. There seem to be a special interest for cute & tiny electric cars in Egilsstaðir.

We have now completed the ring road in Iceland. More than 1700 km with the Twizy!

We get something to eat, buy some groceries and get a coffee before heading to our guest house 12 km south of Egilsstaðir.

We relax a bit and enjoy the room and the surroundings!

Stephan, whom we met in Seyðisfjörður when we arrived by ferry, invited us for dinner. We went to a fine restaurant in Egilsstaðir. His girlfriend Silja and her son joined us. The food was excellent! And I feel really bad about his generosity.
