Iceland Days 9-10
Day 9, Sunday June 8 ~ Berunes, Eastern Fjords, to Neskaupstadur on Nordfjordur
After breakfast we walked up on the ridge behind Berunes with a dog.
Then we drove along the eastern fjords to the town of Neskaupstadur on Nordfjordur where we stayed at the Capitano for the next two nights. We went fishing for cod and walked around town for a bit.
Day 10, Monday June 9 ~ Nordfjordur Walk
We took a fishing boat from the village of Neskaupstadur. Along the way we stopped to study the cod farming nets.
We went on the boat to the deserted fjord Vidfjordur and hiked back to our starting point. Nature at the coast is too harsh for habitation. The once habituated region has turned wild again. The crossing of the river in Hellisfjordur was difficult. The full hike was determined to be about 10.9 miles. Jenni and Ralph started in Hellisfjordur and did about 5.9 miles
