Akureyri - Ósar

Koosje and me still didn't want to give in and decided to visit Hrísey - an island in Eyjafjörður. Unfortunately we had a too good chat during breakfast and all we saw after hurrying to Árskógssandur was the ferry leaving the harbour. So we left slightly disappointed the area of Akureyri to drive to Skagafjörður and visit the famous site of Hólar.
On the way to Hólar we picked up two tourists from London who crashed their car on the extremely slippery road. Lucky them - we passed their way only 10min. after their crash in an area with no cell phone reception. We dropped them off at Varmahlíð and drove on to Hólar.
The northern bishopric of Hólar was the ecumenical and educational capital of northern Iceland between 1106 and the Reformation. Later we picked up the way to Ósar!
