Akureyi to Stykkishólmur (day 8)

We woke up early to get ready for the long day of driving ahead. We quickly ate our breakfast and headed out of the second biggest city in Iceland - Akureyi.
When we encountered our first traffic light, to our surprise and delight, we saw that the red light was in the shape of a red heart! After stopping at several others, we made our first pit stop 10 minutes into the journey at a local wine shop and supermarket.
After purchasing the booze and food and our lunch, our parents got back in the car and the journey started once again.
When we eventually got out the city, we encountered miles and miles of, repetitive, barren landscapes. We stopped for lunch by the side side of the road and me, Millen and dad went for a very scenic wee. We had delicious sandwiches with crisps. With satisfied tummies we once again hit the road on our journey to Stykkishólmur.
While I read my book, mum and dad entertained themselves with a couple of podcasts. By the time we arrived at our campsite, I had completely fallen asleep. We all stretched our feet out. Me and Millen played football, while the others had a game of rummikub.
We realised we were parked not 200 meters away from a golf course and,as if on cue, a group of golfers appeared on one of the holes.
We went back inside for some delicious dinner and of course the artful dodger. We watched the last three episodes to finish it off. We all loved the series and can’t wait for a season two (if there is one) . We soon all went to bed for a good nights rest.Read more
