Day 13: Borganes to Reykjavik

We drove back the scenic route to Reykjavik.  We could have driven under the tunnel to cross Hvalfjordur, but lots of the blogs and guidebooks suggested that it was worth driving round if time permits.  I was so pleased that we did, we were treated to some stunning views and even a rainbow.

We got driven back to the Air BnB and it seems so spacious!  
After baths (yes!) and changing clothes we headed out into Reykjavik for dinner.  It is nice that the city feels familiar to us now.  We popped into one shop to find a cat sleeping under the rail of kids pyjamas.
