The following gifts we recieved: 2 cookies, 1x musli bar, 1x chocolate bar, beer, wine, free bike boxe of spanish cyclist on airport
Further some other figures:
Highest temperature 20°C, lowest temperature 5°C most of the time it was 10 to 15°C. 12 days with rain, only four day of that it rained the whole day. 8 hours traveled by bus. Hitch hiked 5km on F26. On the "Highway" number 1 near Hofn hitch hiking was not succesfull, after two hours I stop. In the highlands I spotted only 4 birds a day. My personal record eating Skyrr was 4 in one day (170ml each).
