Day 13: Stöðvarfjörður to Djúpivogur
12/07/19 20:00 Iceland
We sleep a bit longer as usual, have a great breakfast (toast with peanut butter, unfortunately creamy and not crunchy). We head for Breiðdalsvík, just 19 km away. We ask in a Cafe+Supermarket, if we are allowed to charge our Twizy. The lady behind the counter is a bit suspicious bot finally allows it. We have a coffee and some apple cake.
The Twizy needs to be fully charged, we have 65 km ahead of us. There is no town in between, where we could charge. We fill the generator and the fuel canister to be prepared in case we don't have an alternative.
In the beginning the remaining distance from Google Maps was higher than the Twizy's estimation. This slowly changed and made clear, that we wouldn't make it. This was not much of a surprise.
After 20km we saw a sign for a hostel and cafe. We stopped and asked to charge our car.
The cafe Havari is located in an old barn. Nice background music, good coffee. Lars orders some rhubarb-crumble with coconut cream. An excellent choice. Delicious!
Rhubarb-crumble with coconut cream, cafe latte, soft drink
The Twizy's battery is almost fully charged an we head for Djúpivogur. It started to rain.
At around 4 pm we arrive in the guest house in Djúpivogur. We can charge the Twizy. We stroll around town, shop groceries and prepare dinner. We are the only guests tonight.

You don't realize it's main season around south east Iceland. This will very likely change the day after tomorrow once you come into the touristic vincinity of Reykjavik.
