Rumor said that we could get to Egilstaðir in only 2.5 hours each way. We heard that it had a Bonus (semi reasonably priced grocery store) and a few other shops for necessity´s. This is all very exciting for me because I haven't left town in 2 months and was getting a little cabin fever.
Saturday morning we were off with out Kasper because he wanted to stay with his friends all day. I later heard they were back at the bar playing pool.
So Stefán, Davíð and me left. Our first obstetrical was after driving all the way out to Vopnafjourður we found out that the road to Egilstaðir was closed because of the snow. So after some backtracking, driving in circles and being lost in general - we did make it. It took much longer then 2.5 hours.
But I have to say it was worth the trip, a Bónus, a Subway, and a Samkaup úrval (I guess this is like a everything store) that sold kids boots.
After we finished our shopping we enjoys a dip in the local outdoor pool - it even had a water slide.
When we felt good and refreshed and rather poor it was time to head back.
This time knowing that the road we needed was closed, we did not drive in circles and the trip back took almost 4 hours, thanks to some super icy mountain road and a little snow storm. But we made it.
I think in the summer, when the roads are better, this could be a great weekend destination.
Stefán amazed in a big grocery store.
rósa excited before we left.
Davíð trying to steal our swimsuits from the washer but the door did not want to unlock.
