Once again we wake in the morning with new neighbours. Its seems much colder this morning in P\u00f3rsh\u00f6fn and the wind has picked up. At 7am I turn on the heater and coffee machine and peer outside, except the half dozen tents scattered around us moving with the wind, it\u2019s all quiet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After coffee and fruit Pam heads off for a walk and I do a minor repair. Then we give the Hymer a vacuum before making ready for the road once again. We drive down to the service station and fill the Hymer with diesel at Isk340 @ litre (F**k that\u2019s A3.20 litre).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Departing P\u00f3rsh\u00f6fn it\u2019s only 24 kms to Rau\u00f0anes our first stop. Our guide book highly recommends the 7kms walk around the \u00deistilfj\u00f6rdur peninsula.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The weather is threatening to be honest but the lure of puffins is stronger than common sense.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
