After our summer solstice adventures, we slept for about two days. We also brought one of our two cars to the local mechanic since the pressure in the brakes was slowly diminishing... turns out it has a leaky pipe and will be in the shop for a few days. In the mean time, that leaves us with only a five-seater car for 6 people. So today, the rest of the group took the car and did the Northern Lakes route while one other person and I biked 7 km (about 5 miles) to the research station, counted bugs, and then biked back. That's about 10 miles more than I normally bike so I'm pretty tired and sore right now, but it was a lovely bike ride! The day previous, another group had taken the car to Akureyri, so a group of us stayed at Kalfastrond to clean and read some scientific literature. By late afternoon, we had all gone a little stir crazy and decided to go for a walk around our peninsula. The wildflowers are in full bloom and it is gorgeous weather yet again!
