Returning west to Selfoss, the sun was low in the sky although it is hard to see what time it is because this was about as dark as it got all night long. The view of the river was beautiful in the dusk accented by the pair of geese enjoying it as well.
We found dinner at the historic Kaffi Krus, a restaurant in a bright yellow house in town. Tonight we were happy to get a table upstairs in this restored house with so much atmosphere. We were tired from our adventures and it was great to find some delicious pizza.
We spent Saturday night at the River Apartments. We checked into our little studio apartment facing beautiful overlooks of the Ölfusá River. It was very clean and comfortable even though Annalise got the couch. Our kind hostess even was happy to come let us back in after we got locked out and brought us milk to have with our oatmeal we cooked in the little kitchen for breakfast.
It was fun to see the little town the next morning and take note of the houses with sod and grass growing on their roofs. This style of building is very economical to heat in the winter and cool in the summer.
And we drove by the Selfoss church which is right on the river and where parishioners were gathering for worship. We even spent a few minutes celebrating this Sunday morning on the banks of the river. We considered attending the service, but were pretty sure it would be in Icelandic.
