We decided to rent our little Toyota Yaris for a second day, so we took a road trip to a little town called Borgarnes. Borgarnes is about 60 km north of Reykjavik. The drive involved travelling through a tunnel that passed below a major fjord. The town itself is tiny by all but Icelandic standards. Its one claim to fame is a Viking Egil's Saga and early settlement museum, which we visited. The museum also contains a restaurant whose owner was gracious enough to stay open an extra hour just so we could have the special mashed fish entree. Yum. Here are some pictures of the day.
