My friends Sigrún, Snævar, Steinunn, Ari and Bo (Ari´s danish friend) came to visit me over the weekend. This was SOOOOOOO much fun and we were very lucky not to have pissing rain the whole time :) They came with the ferry and some of them got extremely sick since the sea was quite rough. It was very windy on Saturday and we saw thousands and thousands of flying puffins in Stórhöfði, they filled the air and left us breathless. Ari forgot about the puffin ticks and was lying in the grass taking photos and his jacket was covered with huge ticks afterwards :)
We did "spranga" which is an Westmanislandish tradition of hanging in a rope on a cliff and throwing yourself between the rocks. They did this originally to practice for the egg collection on the high cliffs. We also walked a lot, went up the vulcano Eldfell, ate a lot of ice cream, went swimming, where we met our highschoolfriend Nonni, and ate more ice cream. We also explored the crazy nightlife of the town which involved a lot of indirect smoking which we had to avoid because of Sigrún´s pregnancy and there was also a local guy hitting on Snævar. The day after we saw that guy in the bakery with his wife and three children... For those who dont know Snævar, he is Sigrún´s fiancé... :)
