All good things comes to and end, and this one got a rather long ending to it.<\/p>\n
Four days ago we left Iceland for this time and started on the long trip home. I guess that’s how it goes when you choose to drive to Iceland. This trip has been special. The first members of the group left us back in Reykjavik, and in the coming days we’ll “loose” people along the way until we reach Stockholm.<\/p>\n
We got up today to another sunny day on Iceland, to bad this didn’t come a few days earlier. This is how things are and there is no use complaining. After having our last breakfast together we settled in to wait for the ferry. Today it seem to be two hours late so we got a bit more time to wander around that planned.<\/p>\n
Sey\u00f0isfj\u00f6r\u00f0ur isn’t a large place but there is plenty of opportunities to take a walk, a run or a bike ride. I went for a walk with some of the others and settled in the sun with my book to wait.<\/p>\n
When we got our tickets last night there was some issues with the printing of boarding passes. We got our cabin keys but not the boarding pass it self. I’m not sure how that would be an issue, since the keys also contain the same bar code as the boarding pass. Still we had to wait until everyone else was boarded before we were let on.<\/p>\n
Loading also took a very long time today and after what looked like ages we were finally on our way. I went up on the front of the boat to watch the scenery as we headed out the fjord. We also joked about perhaps we’ll see the whale we saw on our way in today as well.<\/p>\n
I’m not sure if it was the same one, but on the way out we did get a glimpse of a whale back and then the whale fin as it dove beneath waves a few hundred meters in from of us. Guess that’s Icelands way of saying welcome and good bye.<\/p>\n
The rest of the evening was spent relaxing, having dinner and a few drinks while travelling toward the Faeroe Islands.<\/p>\n
This morning we stopped by on the Faeroe Islands, not that I noticed since I was fast asleep until we were heading toward the Shetland Islands. This time around we didn’t go around the northern end of Shetland but instead we passed through the Yell sound.<\/p>\n
There isn’t a whole lot to do on board so I went to see a film and continued on my book. We did manage to get a few drinks during happy hour in the bar and then I went to bed. Might just as well get rested.<\/p>\n
