Given the persistent cold, we need to rethink our strategy. The tent keeps the heat in well, the sleeping bags do the job, but preparing meals remains a real challenge. Setting up the annex for protection requires cumbersome logistics for little profit.
The good news? Akureyri is on our route, and it's Iceland's second-largest city, with a population of around 19,000. Nicknamed the “Garden of the North,” it boasts picturesque fjords, cozy cafes, a small, pedestrianized town center, and a famous Art Deco-style church.
So we opted for a welcome technical break: a night at the campsite, access to a communal kitchen, heated tables, and the opportunity to do some welcome laundry. Tomorrow we'll think about separating our eating and sleeping areas for even more flexibility.
Nothing spectacular to report today—just a useful, calm, and organized day before the big departure for Hornstrandir on Monday.
The weather forecast is predicting good weather in a few days... and it feels good to believe it.
