Day 19: Selfoss to Reykjavik
18/07/19 22:00 Iceland
Our first stop at a free charger after only 13 km at Hveragerði was not successful. The charger didn't work. We estimated that we would make it to our next stop without a recharge but right after we wanted to turn on the ring road there was a detour. Instead of another 13 km to go we had to cover 30 km to get to the geothermal power plant from Orka náttúrunnar (ON) in Hverasvæðið.
At the power plant the chargers didn't work and the CEE16 plugs around the parking lot didn't work either. I asked inside and they let us charge at the chargers for internal use.
Geothermal power plant Hverasvæðið
We charge local. Fresh energy, Free. Couldn't get better!
We did the tour around the plant six years ago and skip it this time. We haveone two coffee,
We head for Reykjavik. Quite fast, compared to previous' days, heading for a swedish restaurant with good value. You can also buy candles there.
We look for the chargers. There are chargers for their own rental transporters, chargers for disabled and chargers for families. There is one fast charger we cannot use therefore we use the charger assigned to families without feeling too good about it.
We get some Köttbullar and salad and are happy. We made it to Reykljavik!
Leaving IKEA we finally see a long row of charges for everyone. 26 Type2-chargers. Unbelievable! IKEA Frankfurt has only two!
Wo go to the harbour to pick up our tickets for snorkeling in Silfra on Saturday and then head for the guest house. It's a building from the first half of the last century where the apartments have been converted into bedrooms with one bath and a kitchen. It's only a few blocks away from Hallgrímskirkja. We park the Twizy in front of the House on the street We will not be able to charge it here. We have to find a solution for this.
Hallgrímskirkja
After unloading the Twizy we visit the church and walk through downtown Reykjavik. We remember, where we have already been and what has changed (a lot!). Lars gets one of the famous Hot Dogs from Baejarins Beztu Pylsur.
Harpa
We visit Harpa, Reykjavik's concert hall, buy some groveries, check for chargers and finally go back to the guest house. We are tired.
