Heading north to Iceland!

Sector nr two : our flight past the cloud shrouded Faroe islands into still snow
covered Iceland went extremely well with an early take off at 7 local and just
over 3 hours for time.

On arrival in Egilstadir we had to hire two cars to drive to another village 32 km away whose name I cannot pronounce and remember ...
 |
| an unusual offload! |

Whilst one car went directly to the hotel, I and some of the others stayed on in Egilstadir trying to refuel our two gas cylinders. I had sourced propane in Iceland months ago but then the troubles started as we struggled all afternoon in vain to fix the correct adapters to refuel.
 |
| I even had a personalized bottle reserved for me! |
 |
after spending hours in a specialized shop we went back
to the aeroplane to try and fix connectors ourselves - also in vain! |
Various
local guys were extremely helpful but so far no success.
On top of all this the
weather now changed to miserable tipping rain, wind and low cloud and not
looking great for tomorrow either!
 |
| there are certainly lots of waterfalls here and I think I know why! |

Temps around 8 degrees and that's in a place
where a beer costs you 10 bucks and propane four times more than home. And my
tooth is also starting to bugger me again.
