I spent my second day in Akureyri mainly walking along the coast path, perfecting my pronunciation of
góðan daginn (despite what it looks like, it is only pronounced with about 2 syllables) to Icelanders I came across on the way. I took a few photos, but this is the best one:
Today I took the bus from Akureyri to Reykjavík, so that I can offload my camping gear into the left luggage lockers at Reykjavík airport. I'm going to essentially do the first part of my itinerary backwards, then fly back to Reykjavík again in time to catch my flight to Nuuk. When I come back from Greenland I'll pick it up again and hopefully the weather in Norway will be good enough to use it as planned.
The bus to Reykjavík took six and a half hours, which included a half hour stop at a petrol station in Staður during which everyone, including the driver, got out and bought lunch. As well as selling roughly the same food as petrol stations in the UK (but with dried fish instead of sausage rolls), there was also a free to use microwave and sandwich toaster.
I'm staying in a hostel in Reykjavík tonight, then heading off to Borgarnes tomorrow morning.
