Tip:
- If you aren’t crazy about horse riding, then Husey isn’t for you. Plus the road is very difficult to drive… so allow enough time to get there.
- Seydisfjordur is a smaller town comparing to Egilsstaðir, the bigger town next to it. Many people stay here for nice trekking trails.

Thank you so much for your post. Your itinerary is almost identical to what our one is going to be, except we are doing it in 16 days. Just a quick question on the camping site in Bolungarvik. Does it have a covered kitchen/washing up section?
We are going in a camper and just want to check that if it rains, that we can still make food.
Yes it has both a covered kitchen, sink, and some utensils as well! I remember their
kitchen closes at 9pm though!
