The shark farm in Bjarnarhöfn, where a very proud and friendly icelandic older man tried to tell us using hands and feet about the story of how his past 3 generations dried and processed shark. We actually were very enthusiastically encouraged to taste some. Cute little museum, but 'pay attention' there is a small fee of 700 kronar when entering. |

The best resturant in the area by far was in Olasfvik, the next town west. It was a log cabin in the middle of town, friendly, fair price, good. |

There was a tiny museum/cafe in the center and we had a nice little breakfast at what I believe was Kaffe Emil where a very nice older man served waffles with cream and jam and other pastries. Good coffee! |

We had just come from the West Fjörds, Djúpavík specifically and we made our way over route 570 at the end of Snæfellsnes peninsular for an exciting and rugged trek in a cloud to the top of the glacier. Afterwards we went down to Borganes for lunch and the Settlement Center tour. |
