Before we had a night of Northernlights we watched a magnificent sunset on the very wide, sandy beach.

How come, we thought there are so many more gravestones than there could possibly have been inhabitants of the region. I learned later about the fate of some of the boys who lived here. I have no idea about what happed to Trausti. Probably he was very happy

The interior

Just south of Þingeyri a trail leads up the mountain. From the trail the view is beautiful. The clouds were chasing and sometimes this mountain was in full sunshine.

Before seeing a Harbour porpoise

Yes, we didn't know it yet when we had lunch in this beautiful valley. We had just seen two hawks at not more than two meters. Just sitting on the road. And then shortly after we saw a harbour porpoise which was slowly swimming in the fjord. I guess we had lucky day.
