Isafjordur to Akureyri

After the Horse Encounter we headed to Akureryi, about a 7 hour drive. This was the longest driving day. Once again we followed the coast, outlining all the fjords along the way. We did get to see seals along the coast - very cool! We didn't have space to stop so no pictures, unfortunately.

The drive was lovely, as always. The terrain around Akureyri is much different from the West Fjords area.

A road to nowhere?

My lunch - quinoa & rice cakes with honey

This giant rock almost ended up on the road

 Some serious spiky bits

We saw quite a few cyclists, though cycling on the main roads is not recommended.
