In the Land of the Vikings

Thursday, November 23, 2006

One last drive around the countryside.

I spent a large portion of my last day in Akureyri in search of sheep and horses with my friend Hlynur (means Maple). It has finally hit me that I am leaving this place for good, which has left me feeling quite sad.
A goodbye present from Iceland: a seal! When we were at the church we could hear an odd sound and Hlynur pointed out the seal down below. A nice surprise.

We stumbled upon this church while exploring the backroads in search of sheep. It is one of the many churches on isolated farms in Iceland. Almost every farm in Iceland has a church from the days when travelling all the way to the large centres every Sunday was impractical.
