After driving most of the mud and rock Highway 939, I pulled off the road and slept in my car overnight. The rain pounded down all night long. The back of a Yaris is not particularly comfortable.
This pullout had a plaque dedicated to the man who built the road.
What a waterfall!
looking down the fjord.
Time to get back on the road.
Back on the road.
Driving along Highway 939 at night was quite the adventure. My rented Toyota Yaris was quite the trooper going down this mud and dirt track. The highway bypasses a section of Route 1 by going over a mountain range.
I rolled into Neskaupstaður in a downpour and at dusk.
The anemic street lights cast a bare glow on the rain-soaked streets.
I bet the town would be pretty in the daylight and if it weren’t raining. After seeing the camping area, I decided to keep driving in hopes of finding somewhere a bit drier to sleep.
