Reached the town of Hvamstangi still in the search od seals.Met this beautiful lady instead.

Then we started driving towards Snarfellsnes peninsula.We were dozing off and needed a coffee badly .Only human we met on the way was an old lady , asked her if there was any coffe shop near by. She answered not nearby and even if there were it would be closed by now . It was only 4pm in the evening .Finally , we reached the town of Stukkisholmur, where we grabbed sandwhich and coffee. Ah good Coffee!!

Arnarstapi was our next stop,very beautiful town surrounded by mountains and beach , harbour and sea caves.Millions and millions of birds have their nests in these sea caves . The white dots in the sea caves are actually birds in their nests.

Dense fog grasped us and we called it a night at Kast Guest House camp ground.The environment was magical .Though it was not night ,but stars could be seen.A group of students flocked in the campground and set up a bonfire , played music and everyone joined them for a dance and drink.
