North Iceland

Errol had some success fishing the river Svarta. He caught 16 brown trout. Even I managed to hook a tiny fish. Beautiful countryside with easy access to the rivers.  Can only fish a river if you have bought a stretch of the river called a rod. Most rivers are privately owned and money goes to land owner.

Finally came out sunny and warm for our drive to Laugar.  Stopped at lovely village called Akureyri. About 18 000 people... Had coffee here!

Then headed off to guesthouse for the night. Stopped at amazing waterfall called Godafoss.

Largest waterfall by volume in Europe. Errol fished Lake Ljosavatn and caught an Arctic Char, so he was very happy!  Drove around Lake Myvatn in the evening (though it is still light). Area very volcanic and popular with campers. Seems everyone has a pop-up caravan (their word means pop down!)
