DRANGSNES TO PATREKSFJÖRÐUR DAY 89 422 km.

WEST SIDE OF ICELAND  - VESTFIRDIR

Met a Frenchy last night on a GS 1200 and we chatted for hours and then this morning at breakfast again and only got going at 10:30am. The place has a fancy kitchen to prepare food and everything you need to prepare food, but they only have two bathrooms with mini sinks, they didn't get that right for the amount of people here.

Coldest day yet, 8ºC  with low clouds so couldn't see the mountains and this west side has tall mountains and fjords that you zig zag in and out all day and some nice dirt roads and some long tunnels. 
Stopped for a Thai lunch cause I was so cold in Ìsafjörðour where there were three huge cruise ships to spoil the scenery. 

Then another 3 hours and I arrived at the iffy campsite with no showers. 
Went into the kitchen area and marked my map and did my diary and a German couple were in there cooking up a storm and the next minute she asks me if I was hungry and I told he I was fine but then a huge meal and a beer was put in front of me. Was a really good meal and then she went to their truck and made me some coffee from a machine or something , was no instant coffee and then offered me a cookie , best meal I have had in Iceland .
