Leaving Ísafjörður.
If we had it to do again we would spend at least 2 nights here!! What a great little town.
And our hostess, Gunna, was delightful. She is an Icelandic Airline flight attendant who lives in Rykevick but was filling in as hostess for her cousin who owns the Airbnb. In addition to being a wonderful hostess she was doing her homework in a Masters Degree in Folk Lore and was a wealth of Icelandic history and culture. Her great grandparents lived in Ísafjörður as did her grandparents and parents. The stories of survival without roads, electricity and heat were amazing.
We could have talked to her all day.
The Bakri in Iceland are wonderful. Pastry’s so flaky and good!
Breakfast in Ísafjörður
