After a relatively quick breakfast, we left ourselves a taxi to bring BSI terminal to take the bus to Akureyri. Previously, we had already disposed of some of our luggage in the hotel basement and placed the rest in the lobby. Just in time clock at 8:00 we stood in front of the still closed Ticket counter. Upon request, we were told that the switch would actually be open already, but the employees stuck in morning rush hour, but certainly coming soon. Ca. 15 minutes later it was ready and we boarded the bus just before departure. Somewhat puzzled, we saw the ad on the bus, the temperature was 22 degrees, which could not be. But when the bus driver, after all the luggage stowed away and the tickets were checked, gets rid of its various jackets and suddenly had the bright orange short-sleeved Hawaiian shirt in front of us, we also believed the ad. The record, while the ride was fabulous 36 degrees and the discarded clothes of the Passengers blew at times the storage compartments above the seats. We were definitely glad we had stowed our suitcases in the Iceland sweater.
in the pouring rain, tortured the driver out of town due to traffic. The further we Reykjavik behind us the better, the weather and you could look around. The first highlight of the trip was the tunnel under the fjord passes. This part of the ring road has always something adventurous, a tunnel of this kind would be unthinkable in Germany and each ADAC testers would be horrified. Without the civilized way in which the (most) Icelanders would have also blocked this route often. Shortly after the tunnel we passed the turnoff to Akranes and from here it was really rural. The Ansieldungen consisted only of scattered farms. The nearest major town was Borganes, here the bus stopped to let passengers from and to-enter and. Also were unloaded various "packages". Most of the Gepäckräune was on this trip full of boxes in which ham was packaged in order, most gas stations and some school canteens in which we were supplied. Besides diverse pieces of furniture and major purchases of bus drivers transported the last stretch of the journey a cooling container with blood for the hospital in Akureyri. Unbelievable but true, the absence of public buses in Iceland, would be much more expensive than it already has and for many residents of remote areas would be more difficult to cope with daily life. These buses are not only people but also an important means of transportation of the supplies of the so-called things of everyday use. The children looked at every stop, something new that they could bring the buses back home in no context and could not imagine.
The whole trip went very quiet and despite, at times, very strong winds without incident. The driver had us do a barbecue though, and the stewardess with the cocktails, we are still waiting but he has done his job perfectly.
had at the hotel in Akureyri we were already expected and the check took less than two minutes. After we saw our room we were all flabbergasted something with such a luxurious inn, no one had expected. We got a huge room with very large bathroom in the addition to the Doppelkbett was a wide bed, which was already prepared for the children. Simply terrific. Made within a short time we had set up domestic and went to first on a walk. We strolled along the main shopping street and then went for a mountain to climb well above the Protestant church, which was unfortunately too. As we saw above from there across the bay, Beate began to suddenly call and was getting more excited. She had seen actually show up in the bay a whale. The rest of us could believe it at first but as the animal the next time came up to breathe, Desirée has seen it. In the next breath we managed to catch men also have a look, but it should have been the last. We are then immediately down the hill towards the road and over to the beach. Meanwhile, two cars were also held and a further pedestrian crossing the street. Sorry, read to see the whale no more and we went back towards the city. Since we were heated by the Hawaiian climate of our Chauffeurs are still pretty, we had decided not to walk on our thick jumpers and were by the wind, which is slowly but surely towards hurricane developed pretty cool. In addition, the wind tossed the waves always stronger on the beach, so we had to hurry to dry yet again to reach the city. There, we warmed up in a souvenir shop on the right first, of course, took the children to play a part in their crowns exchanged holiday pay to overdo. When we all had again stopped to shake, we were on our way to the restaurant Bautinn to the day to finish with a pizza.
