Last breakfast at our guesthouse. The host was very nice and was grateful for some of our unopened food we had to leave behind as we won’t have cooking facilities in our next stop. The pate was the key item he loved. It turns out it was made with smoked sheep head, a delicacy. Tony’s face was a picture as he’d eaten some the previous night. He did say it was a jellied in some parts and not great. LOL might be the eyeballs.

All packed up and out the doors by 10.30am, we stopped off at a geothermal power plant en-route to Reykjavik. It was very commercialised and the exhibition was aimed at the adults more. Not worth the cost that we had to pay. We actually preferred the hydro energy plant we went to the other day. However, some bits were interesting and you could see in to the plant.

We arrived at our hotel and it is very basic compared to the other places we stayed in but we have a quintuple room with 3 beds on the top mezzanine. The kids enjoyed having their secret floor.

We found some lunch in a foodhall and went shopping afterwards. Tony and I picked up a few pieces in 66 degrees North (an Icelandic brand and expensive). Kids picked up a few souvenirs.

We wrapped up the day with a walk down by the harbour and then dinner at the ‘Old Iceland Restaurant’, very nice cosy place and the food was good although the lamb still didn’t meet Tony’s expectations after having a fantastic dinner at one of the hotels we stayed in.
