Reykjavík - Akureyri

The trip started very promissing! Instead of the booked Toyota Yaris we got a Toyota Corolla for the same price! We felt like queens!
Although icey the blue sky promissed nice road conditions!
As dawn set in our problem set in: our headlights were not working. At the petrol station in Varmahlíð the very grumpy mechanic didn't speak a work of English... he assured us everything was ok so we left again. 20min. later a snowstorm set in! Not very comfortable to drive through the darkness in a snowstorm with no lights... We somehow made it safely into Akureyri were we stopped again at a petrol station. This time the still unpolite mechanics at least spoke English. It took them an hour to fix 2 lights and they nearly took apart the whole motor. I kept praying they wouldn't break anything as it was not our car...
