This day we started our trip from our cottage near Egilsstadir.

We rented a cabin here, a whole house to ourselves, with a view of Icelandic horses.

That sounds good, and it should be, but the energy in this house doesn't feel good.

First of all, we get a laundry list of rules around our ears (don't use too much internet, don't use too much water, keep things tidy, the vacuum cleaner in the room is “staff only” , there is virtually no toilet paper, and there is no answer to the question whether it can be supplemented (after asking a third time, yes). Then you will also be asked to pick up your bed when you leave. and that while paying a hefty price for the cabin. So we're not coming back here. I won't mention the cabin name, if you're going to that region and you want to make sure you don't end up here, just send me a private message.

@enigma Sometimes I would just like to abolish people 😉. Indeed, I have no problem putting our towels in a heap, taking off the bed, leaving things tidy. We do it by default. But finding a list of what you're not allowed upon arrival seems so unkind that we... Show more

Beautiful impressions, greenery and waterfalls, beautiful villages and mouth-watering place names.
@Naturefreak 😁 this is not so bad. say-this-fjord-ur is the pronunciation in English. There are really much worse ones 😇
