Wednesday Hostel

Coach to Eiði, and to the hotel for soup by the guy who was doing the evening meals. Drank some Classic Gull, slightly darker beer. Did a little sight seeing, and then back to the hostel. The road down to Eiði was twisting. Small town with church, bank and some shops.

After Eiði went back to the hostel, whole family went to see the puffins, and took some much better pictures of them. Their landing technique onto the cliff was somewhat bizarre. They seemed somewhat unconcerned by humans, we were within feet of them. Many of the birds would leave the cliff, do a circuit around the bay and then come into land.

Supper was at 8.00, but arrived much later, cod with onion topping, potatoes, carrots, broccoli, cauliflower and a very nice mayonnaise sauce which the hotel owner said had gherkins, peppers, capers and onion. A little like sandwich spread. Stewed apricots and cream for afters.
