... about hot tubs and romantic scenery. Although Senica and I are completely sure that this paradise is ideal for a honeymoon, I can't really describe the narrative that contributed to alluring us there.<br>In pursuit of that romantic landscape, we drove north up Hwy 82 into Eyafjord. The road was nicely paved. We stopped in Dalvik. We got a room at Foss Hotel (normally 22000 ISK per night!!) but the hotel was technically ...

... your average group of British teenagers are not exactly bound to be jumping at the opportunity to shower naked with a bunch of strangers and an "inspector" making sure yo're clean! Eeeeeek!<br><br>"No swimming costumes beyond this point." Having abandoned our towels in the racks on the other side, where the Icelandics had also left their swimming costumes, we took a deep breath and stepped towards the communal shower area ...

... at all saying that I had a grain of sand in my eye! However, it was a very determined and awkward grain of sand, as it wasn't budging anywhere! First the man had a look in my eye, which had me trying to hold in laughter right from the start; I sat on a wooden chair and he sat on one opposite me, but kept making me move closer and closer. This wouldn't have made me laugh so much had he not been sat with his legs wide open! <br ...

... to be covered on horse back. And it was a thousand tourists not the 700000 they had come through last summer. The property in total includes 8% of the total land in Iceland.

... bay" (I think) so after some prodding the girl at the museum desk figured out that Akureyri means (roughly) "grassy bank by the sandy beach". OK then. Up till now, I'd somehow missed the thermal baths that Iceland is so famous for, so we headed for the pool. Nice and relaxing for a public pool. A little too much, actually, as the heat eventually got to me and I had to leave. Petros had a plane to catch in a few ...

... a free ride on a scheduled flight. I would have to stay the night in Iceland´s booming "Capital of the North", Akureyri, pop. 15,000. It lies on a Crayola-blue fjord between mile-high mountains. I made up my mind to not give the Akureyri hostel any business when the owner came off as a real jerk. I reasoned that if I spent $15 on a big dinner, then the energy from that would keep me awake and warm all night and I could save $10 ...

... to the edges of it in perfect solitude. Arrived into Akeuyri and checked into Hotel Norderland (room #103--smelled homey, like my grandmother's house) and found pasta at Baulinn, followed by coffees at Graa Kahnan. Our hotel faced the "bijou" as Bryan said. It was going to be a clear night and we had a window facing north. I was seriously hopeful for the Northern Lights--trying to witness them 5 different times during the night.
