Dritvik is a black pebbled beach. There were big stones at the beach that were used to test the strength of fishermen in the past before they were hired to work on the boats.

So here we are, trying not to be a wimp. As it turns out, we don't even fit into the worst of categories.

Icelandic pure breed horses are famous the world over. They were developed from ponies taken to Iceland by Scandinavian settlers in the 9th and 10th centuries. They are hardy and has few diseases.
Our last stop was to visit the rotten shark museum - Bjarhahofn Shark Museum.
Called hakarl, these shark flesh were allowed to be fermented and rot for 6 months. And believe me, it really stinks!!
