a large day

Years ago my traveling friend and I were on a ferry from Maine to Grand Manan Island in Canadian wsters. Standing on the deck, a gentleman proclaimed it to be a large day. And it was.

Yesterday was another large day on a ferry. This time it was the Brjánslækur ferry which was traveling two and one-half hours from the Snæfellsnes peninsula across the Atlantic Ocean, to the Westfjords.

I love to travel by ferry!

Talented tire kicking and placing for a tractor to board.

Then we were off!

We made a brief stop at Flatey Island to load several hundred pounds of fish.

Then on to Branslækur, where we disembarked and headed north to Isafjördur.

That’s our road up ahead.

Glorious views.

A good portion of the drive was under construction; a challenge at times, but the views were worth it. Plus it was the only way to get where we were going.

Twists and turns and after one descent, we pulled into a parking area, and there it was… Hundafoss!

We followed the path to the viewing platform to see the mid falls up close.

From there, more gobsmacking beauty as we made our way to Isafjördur.

The drive took 3 1/2 hours to navigate a normally 90 minute route, thanks to views and road construction. It took awhile, but it was surely worth it.

Traveling mercies.
