Todays adventure took us up road 643 on the Eastern side of Drangajokull Peninsula to a town called Djupavik. True to the claims of our guide book this was a remote and wild place, steep mountains on the west, the Atlantic Ocean on the east, drift wood from Siberia on the beaches, very occasional buildings, a scattering of tourist vehicles, and eventually muddy roads as the weather turned wet as we progressed north. The village of Djupavik turned out to be only three or four buildings, an abandoned herring processing factory and a lot of derelict vehicles.

Djupavik was our turn-around point, so we retraced our steps over the sometimes rough and muddy road and eventually found our way south to the town of Holmavik were we tried to take some of the mud off the truck. Interestingly almost every village/town we have seen has a free vehicle washing station. A little farther south we found a place on the sand among the sheep for our nights camp.
