''Stingum af í spegilsléttann fjörð'' / ''Let's run away to the mirror-smooth fjord''

16/5/15

At the beginning of April, I went to Ísafjörður for the annual Aldrei music festival (the title of this post is lyrics to a song that was at the first festival). While I skipped out on most of the partying, the trip was still amazing, and I hope I'll get to return to the Westfjords in the future.

Just an hour or so outside of Reykjavík, we stopped at a beach and were pleasantly surprised by...

...seals!

After a few hours of driving, I've found you'll somehow always run into a snowstorm here.

Even though it takes longer, one nice thing about driving through the Westfjords/Vestfjörður is that there's so many twists and turns around bodies of water than you pretty much always have an awesome view.

We made it! 

(Okay, these were actually taken on, like, the second or third day, but look! So pretty!)

Now that is spegilsléttur.

Now begins the drive home, and I swear, not even half an hour out of Ísafjörður we made some more new friends:

''Please, no pictures.''

''lol''

This little pup was so cute (and photogenic)!

As a bonus, on the way back home we stopped at a hot tub in the middle of the natural landscape.

Takk fyrir mig / Thanks for having me, Ísafjörður!
