A while back Ange and I had our first trip to Iceland, the RR appeared to have stalled

It's time to go back, this time on smaller bikes which we shipped rather than taking the ferry.
A small part of that unfinished business was to explore the West Fjords region so a plan slowly unfolded in my mind, but first there's the most important preparation.....
Even though Ange hated it, my Iceland beard needed to be ready in time. It was
A cheap and short flight would hopefully see us soon reunited with our bikes
My good friend TIV met us at the bus station and took us to get our bikes where he helped unload Ange's 'Blue One'
Then took us to his home in Reykjavik where he and his lovely wife, Silla, were the perfect hosts.
TIV and I got on like a house on fire ...... much to the dismay of Ange and Silla who thought us "two peas in a pod" as we planned our business venture of whale harpooning KEA, more of that later ....perhaps
Later we all went for a drive around town to see some of the sites.
TIV's immaculate ex police K75, with a great story of how it came into his possession part of which was the police station it was assigned to didn't have anyone who could ride it
In the morning we set off inland then north........
only to find out that our route was still impassable and we'd need to get towards the coast sooner than planned.
Arriving in Borganes we found coffee, cakes and supplies before settling in.
I'd been carefully watching the weather forecasts and decided to stick with our intentions as the weather inland and to the NE was poor for the foreseeable future .... we were going west and north
And my wife's happy .....phew.
