This morning we said our good byes to Iceland's mountain roads and headed towards Bakkafjordur the last of the places on Nina's "must see" list. After a few hours of grey skies, low cloud, and a stretch of wall-to-wall pot holes. We pulled up at a sea side cliff face to join a few dozen other tourists there to look at the nesting sea birds. Based on all the info we had read about this place we expected something really spectacular. But it was really not very impressive. We had concluded a little earlier in our Iceland adventure that there was a lot of "over hyping" in our guide book and other travel literature about this island.

So after being under-whelmed by the sea birds, and more than a little tired of rain, we retreated to the Bakkagardi campground for the remainder of the day.
