Seyðisfjörður, etc

Today, we saw the most amazing field of icebergs (Jökulsarlón.) Bret will post some photos on his blog (see the link above.) We also were able to see several "fingers" of the Vatnajökull (Europe's largest glacier.)

We finally arrived in Seyðisfjörður around 1630, only to find out that there was no room at the inn. That includes the hotel and the hostell. We called Mamma, Hans David, and Edna to find out if we had friends or family in the area, to no avail. Bret was just getting ady to drive us back to the last town, when I asked to stop at the grocery store.

I asked if anyone knew of another place to stay, and this lady gave me a list of people who have rooms to let! I called the first person on the list. She does not take Visa, so we tokd her we had to see if we could get that much cash from the ATM first. That worked, so she said to come up in one hour (so she could clean, lol) and gave us the address.

What an adventure!
