Hólmavík Days 1 and 3

I've decided to put yesterday into its own post, which I will put up later today or tomorrow. It is going to end up being quite long. 

I arrived in Hólmavík on Sunday evening, walked a mile or so from the bus stop into the centre of the town and up a 23% hill (yes, I measured it because it turns out there is an app for that) to find the hotel. The door was locked, so I followed the instructions on the door and pressed the call button and explained that I was booked in. 10 minutes later, the owner of the hotel arrived on her bike to unlock the front door and check me in. 

I spent most of Monday and today wandering up and down the hills and taking photos. There are surprisingly few birds around, although there are plenty of eiders and herring gulls by the harbour. 

Here are some of my photos:

The much-requested 'nice view from window' shot. 

This is a panorama shot from halfway up a hill. Everything from the bus stop and supermarket outside Hólmavík to the church, town centre and harbour is visible. 

Some chickens were wandering about in someone's front garden. So far, they have been the only birds cooperative enough to take a decent photo.
