Cats

I made it to akureyri. And am back in cat land. This is a great town, as is any town with a cat. I´ve only seen cats here and in reykjavik. They don´t seem to be other places in iceland, although Jessa claimed to see one in Vik while I was inside using the internet. I found out yesterday they´re actually outlawed in Grimsey. They even revoted a few years ago and it was 90% vote to keep the law. Too many birds on the island, it wouldn´t be good to introduce predators.

But Akureyri is an idealic town. It helps it is the first real town i´ve been in in about a week. And even though it´s population is a mere 17,000 i could easily see myself settling in here for a week. Unfortunately I only have two nights. And then I´m off in a rental car to return to reykjavik. The weather here has turned glorious and after I´ve found internet at the library for only 200kr per hour. So I am using this opportunity to catch up and post some of those posts I´ve written without internet. Then i´m off to a fjord town Dalvik where they are having their annual festival. The whole town gives out fish soup to everyone. Should be interesting.
