Hellnar

The beach at Snaefellsnes was made up of not sand, but of smooth stones. “Stories of Snæfellsjökull glacier‘s power and mystical energy have been around for centuries. It’s the reason Jules Verne chose it as the location of the entrance into the center of the earth in his novel Journey to the Centre of the Earth.”

I loved the stones so much. I kept collecting them, arranging them and photographing them, as they were too heavy to take with me!

This little café was a walk down the road from our house. When we first discovered it, it was closed. But the next day it was open, and we had fish soup and wine on the deck overlooking the water. Still searching for the perfect fish soup…

I found these treasures on the beach below the café. (See photo below.)

Lots of strange but beautiful vegetation

In Hellissandur we finally found the perfect fish soup. This is at Matarlist, our favorite restaurant of the whole trip.
