Since I was feeling a little better - a little better than I did at 7am, anyway - i was persuaded to go out for a nice little walk in the fresh air.
I had made the delightful discovery that the socket I had my tablet & camera plugged into was actually pulling power out of them. My tablet was visibly losing power while being used despite being plugged in and the camera, which I was just keeping topped up was so dead it wouldn't even switch on, after having been charged for eight hours. I moved them to a different socket and with my camera at one nearly bar of charge, took it out for a walk.
I now remember why I'm fond of Borgarnes. There's nothing here other than the service centre and the wonderful Settlement Museum for tourists but it's such a pleasant little place and it sits right in the fjord, with mountains on one side and little rocky cliffs and islands around the lower part of the town. When it's reasonably sunny, it's just a pretty place to enjoy the view. I've worked out that the weather drifts from south to north. It's getting sunnier here, sunset is a long way off yet but Fossatún looked like it's in for another nasty night. I chuckle vengefully but I do really like Fossatún when it's dry and no one's trying to force me out of my camping spot.
Speaking of Fossatún, there was a girl from Florida in the hot tubs, first talking about this "really nice guy" she stayed with couchsurfing (who did not sound nice and sent up several red flags in what she was saying including asking her to not mention something that happened because he had a really good reputation on Couchsurfing - presumably because he bans anyone from mentioning the bad things and she also said "I think I'd stay with him - but maybe not on my own" which she also wasn't going to mention and which i felt is really worth mentioning - "as a single female traveller I did not feel safe on my own with him" is definitely something I'd want to know.)
Anyway, she was complaining about the European-style breakfast on offer at Fossatún - and that's unusual, I think, a campsite offering breakfast. First, she felt it was too expensive (I'm inclined to agree - 1600kr is about £8 and I can't eat enough breakfast for that to be worth it for me ) and second: "Where are the aigs? Where are the pancakes?" Well, pancakes are not a breakfast food, so that's the answer to the second question. As for the first, if I'd heard it out of context, I'd have had no idea what "aigs" were supposed to be. "Aigs"? Really?
Oddly, I feel a little more dizzy back in my room (which smells of sulphur because I had a shower and apparently the hot water here comes directly out of the ground, which dates this hotel back at least a couple of decades) than I did walking around outside. So waking up in the morning will, in itself, probably not tell me whether I really feel better or not.
