Once you've dried off, you'll be back on the road to Akureyri, with one last stop in front of Eyjafjordur for a panoramic photo before heading home.
On this road-trip, you'll make a loop and stop at the most emblematic watering holes, so don't forget to bring your camera to capture these magnificent landscapes!
