Day 27: Akureyri to Mývatn

It's raining. We have our Skyr/Joghurt breakfast, we pack our stuff and are ready to go by 10 o'clock.
A cruise ship has arrived at Akureyri and has once more unloaded hundreds of passengers that will are being cramped in busses to visit Mývatn in the few hours they have.
It's crowded at Goðafoss. We ask at the gas station/restaurant/cafe/souvenir shop if we could charge. They think about the options, check if it is possible but finally we are denied to charge. We were being recommended to try at a gas station some kilometers down the road.

It is still raining. We decide to park the Twizy and visit Goðafoss. While we walk past a house a car arrives and someone is about to enter it. I ask if we could charge and he agrees. I get the Twizy, we charge and we go to the cafe to warm up a little bit. It's been 8° Celsius this morning in Akureyri and it was quite cold in the Twizy.

After putting on our rain gear we go to see the waterfall. Most of the tour busses have left and it's not that crowdy any more and it has stopped raining.

We are still freezing and we decide to get another hot chocolate and wait for the Twizy to finish charging.
It is raining again, we have head wind and some steep climbs in front of us. I try to save energy and at the last dozen kilometers I drive extremely slowly, saving as much energy as possible. We pray for not getting a steep climb (weg got climbs) or no one blocking us (no one did).

We arrive with 0% battery and 0 km remaining range after 50,1 km and 604 meters cllimb at the camp site's reception. The last few meters we had to let the car coast to a stop. This was really close!

Precision landing in front of the reception!

We get our rooms and charge the Twizy close by.
We wait for the Twizy to be charged a bit before we head into Reykjahlíð to shop groceries.
