tak po prostu, na zadupiu na srodku pola stoi sobie AUTENTYCZNY kosciol z czasow vikingow
 
just like that, in the middle of nowhere, on somebody's field there it is - an AUTHENTIC Viking church

wlasciciel zostawil nawet ksiazke odwiedzajacych wiec sie wpisujemy I o dziwo, tego samego dnia przed name byli inni polacy!
 
there was a guestbook so we wrote a couple of words and discovered that just before us there was another polish couple!
 
 
 

 
 
 
 

 
 
 
 

 
 
 
 

spowrotem na 'jedynce', jedziemy na myvatn!   /    on rd no 1 again, myvatn, here we come!
 
 
 

 
 
 
 

bezimienny wodospad przy drodze. tak wiele gorszych wodospadow na swoja nazwe a ten, calkiem fajny nie ma????
no-name waterfall along the road. so many less interesting waterfalls has a name and this one, rather nice one, does not????
 
 
 

 
 
 
 

jedynka  /  rd no 1
 
jak widac ruch duzy!
prawde mowiac to drogi byly bardzo puste, poza okolica reyjkaviku I poludniowego odcinka jedynki oraz golden circle. na zwirowkach najczesciej nie mijalo sie w ogole nikogo podczas dlugich godzin jazdy. na jedynce, moze jeden samochod na 10 minut...
 
as you can see, road is soooo busy!
to be honest, the roads were 'abandoned'. leaving reykjavik area and golden circle, on road no 1 we passed maybe 1 car every 10 mins, maybe even less. on gravel roads sometimes we passed nobody at all even when driving many hours.

rd no 94 and BAKKAGERDI

 po mniej pieknych niz sie spodziewalysmy odwiedzinach w seydisfjordur przyszedl czas na odwiedziny kolejnego ze wschodnich fjordow. droga 94 jest bardzo malownicza, prawde mowiac tutaj zaparlo nam dech. jedzie sie najpierw niepozorna zuzloweczka w dolinie, ktora przeradza sie w gorska droge o islandzkich standardach (ostry zakret I 15% w gore). po wjechaniu na grzbiet zaczely sie niesamowite widoki, na doline za nami (zakonczona dluuuuga piaszczysta plaza) oraz na fjord przed nami. potem jeszcze tylko szybkie przejechanie przez kolejna gore I jestesmy w bakkagerdi!
bardzo zaluje ze nie zostalysmy tam dluzej - miejsce jest spokojnie (w sumie na koncu drogi!) I ciche, otoczone gorami I morzem. 5 minut jazdy dalej znajduje sie maly polwysep gdzie latem gniazduja maskonury...

after visiting seydisfjordur (which was less impressive than we hoped for, due to mist!) we took road no 94 and drove towards our next destination in eastfjords. the road is beautiful (road itself is gravel of course) but the surroundings are amazing. we were breathless. at first we drove in the large, wide valley (finished with a long sandy beach) then suddenly the road changed to a 'mountain' type (sharp turns and 15% up!). after reaching the first summit we just couldn't stop admiring the views! then quick drive thru another mountain and we saw bakkagerdi in the distance.
I really regret that we didn't stay there longer, we should have. the place is amazing, quiet, calm, surrounded by mountains and the sea. 5 mins drive further there is a small, tiny peninsula (called 'hofn') where the puffins nest during the summer.
