Iceland Sports

I did not visit Holmavik by design; the car I hired careered off the road in pitch darkness and 10 below zero and once rescued by a kindly motorist, we drove carefully back to the nearest town, which was Holmavik. It's pretty small fishing village with one bar that's closed in wintre and one guesthouse which was very friendly, but frankly with sun setting at 2:30 there wasn't much to do anyway!

The Vestmannaer-Islands are located south of Iceland and are all volcanic origin. It is know for:
- most windiest point in Europe
- Home of Keiko
- cute little birds "Puffins" - Papageientaucher
- honey marinated puffin breast - delicous
- rough golf course (between volcanic stones)
- the volcano Eldfell, with its big eruption 1973
- ugly smelling fish drying
You can travel there either by plane or by ferry.

Ok rent a horse at íshestar, then go hiking on Helgafell volcano, then go for dinner at Fjörukráinn viking hotel and end the evening by enjoying a performance at Jadarleikhusid theatre.

Hike to the top of the hill above the church and enjoy the view and have a picnic there! This is where Egill Skallagrimson of "Egils saga" lived.

Rent a bike and ride around the lake or enjoy bathing in the lagoon.
