Isafjordur

We left Breidavik just after 6 am and ventured back over the dirt and gravel roads for a bit, then had a short reprieve before going up and over a pass from Flokalundur to Dynjandi. It was a very rough section at first that had us spinning our tires in a few spots (and maybe a few choice words were said😂) but then improved as we crossed over a landscape that I can’t even describe. Waterfalls were everywhere in all directions and snow patches on the mountains and hills. HUGE fjords would come into view and then we entered the Dynjandi area at the end of a fjord called Arnarfjordur. Seeing Dynjandi in person is impressive! It cascades some 320 feet, looking exactly like a beautiful bridal veil. On top, it’s about 100 feet wide and widens up to almost 200 feet at the bottom.

There are 6 other waterfalls below, which we passed on our climb up to the base of Dynjandi. Alan walked back down and took a picture of me and I look SO, SO tiny in comparison. The best thing about this experience was we were only 2 of 4 people there!!! As we were leaving, more cars showed up as well as a few tour busses from a cruise ship.

Other highlights:
1. The Simbahöllin cafe for amazing late breakfast of Belgian waffles with rhubarb jam
2. The 🌈 that appeared over the fjord while visiting Dynjandi
3. The old fishing village called Osvor in Bolungarvik
4. The three crazy tunnels through mountains (all being 4-5 k long) and one being a one lane road 😳)
5. Bakery for lunch in Isafjordur
6. 3D crosswalk in town
7. Absolutely amazing fish buffet dinner at a restaurant called Tjöruhúsið.Leggi altro
