2016Apr Iceland Day 4: Afternoon drive to Drangsnes
https://willischung.slickpic.com/albums/2016AprIcelandDay4AfternoonDriveToDrangsnes/photo/#12562601
This is what the WestFjords looked like in late spring after two snowstorms.
Incredible views around every corner. We want to go back! We saw an Arctic Fox on the road shortly after taking this photo, but it moved off too quickly for us to get a photo.

The church looks like a little model next to the fjord
https://willischung.slickpic.com/albums/2016AprIcelandDay4AfternoonDriveToDrangsnes/photo/#12562597
Now Eyrarkirkja í Seyðisfirði really looks like a model!

We had the entire building to ourselves, and we sorted things out from our luggage.
https://willischung.slickpic.com/albums/2016AprIcelandDay4AfternoonDriveToDrangsnes/photo/#12562583
Clean, modern bath! In floor heat too all night to come up to 19C. We were chilly for a while!
https://willischung.slickpic.com/albums/2016AprIcelandDay4AfternoonDriveToDrangsnes/photo/#12562582
We made a little planning nook in front of the other bedroom. My pocket flashlight is taped above.
https://willischung.slickpic.com/albums/2016AprIcelandDay4AfternoonDriveToDrangsnes/photo/#12562581
Comfortable dining room and living room with the kitchen, all to ourselves!
https://willischung.slickpic.com/albums/2016AprIcelandDay4AfternoonDriveToDrangsnes/photo/#12562580
Time for some tea!
https://willischung.slickpic.com/albums/2016AprIcelandDay4AfternoonDriveToDrangsnes/photo/#12562579
Cuppa with some tasty biscuits? Why yes, please!
https://willischung.slickpic.com/albums/2016AprIcelandDay4AfternoonDriveToDrangsnes/photo/#12562578
We brought a hula dash ornament, but completely forgot to secure her to the dashboard of the car!
https://willischung.slickpic.com/albums/2016AprIcelandDay4AfternoonDriveToDrangsnes/photo/#12562577
Boats parked everywhere, it seems!

How trivial seem the works of man in this quiet land.
https://willischung.slickpic.com/albums/2016AprIcelandDay4AfternoonDriveToDrangsnes/photo/#12562558
Fishing boats started heading in and out at sunset
https://willischung.slickpic.com/albums/2016AprIcelandDay4AfternoonDriveToDrangsnes/photo/#12562557
Catching the beam from the setting sun.
https://willischung.slickpic.com/albums/2016AprIcelandDay4AfternoonDriveToDrangsnes/photo/#12562556
This fishing boat looks slower, but it was traveling at a good clip.
https://willischung.slickpic.com/albums/2016AprIcelandDay4AfternoonDriveToDrangsnes/photo/#12562555
Coming past Drangsnes, many boats turned slightly to the east, probably heading to Hólmavík
https://willischung.slickpic.com/albums/2016AprIcelandDay4AfternoonDriveToDrangsnes/photo/#12562554
Catching the setting sun again.
https://willischung.slickpic.com/albums/2016AprIcelandDay4AfternoonDriveToDrangsnes/photo/#12562553
Golden light on gull.
