Tag 12: Arrival in Iceland, Seyðisfjörður to Stöðvarfjörður

With calm seas no one got sea sick. We had to leave the cabin at 7 o'clock, therefore our breakfast was reduced to a slice of toast with creamy peanut butter (I miss crunchy peanut butter!). It didn't take long before we have left the ship and completed customs and immigrations.

Right outside, Stephan, whom I know from the Islandreise online forum welcomed us. He ist Austrian and has been living in Egilstadir for a number of years.
He was so kind to pull our trailer up the mountain.

Lars went with him and they used the opportunity to make pictures and to film the Twizy slowly climbing up the mountain.

The free charger in Egilstadir was blocked by a hybrid-car. We went to Stephan's girl friend's place where we were able to charge the Twizy. Stephan invited us for an ice cream before we headed for Reyðarfjörður.
In Reyðarfjörður the free charger was again blocked by a hybrid car. We tried to find the owner for about half an hour until a car drove to the charger, someone got out of the car and unplugged the hybrid car. It was his colleague's car and the owner didn't want the charger to be blocked all day.

We get something to eat and waited for the Twizy to get fully charged.

We started for our last trip of the day. 44 km to Stöðvarfjörður. It is alway thrilling if you can make it as Google Maps can tell you the exact distance but not if there are steep climps along the way. And this is Iceland - there are steep climps. Always. Unexpected.
We did it and arrived with a remaining 30% charge in Stöðvarfjörður. I guess it will stay thrilling until we leave the island.

The guest house doesn't look too good from the outside but the rooms are excellent! Really nice!

There is not much to see in Stöðvarfjörður. A small grocery and fast food joint, a gas station, a collection of rocks and a lot of car wrecks.
