A short ferry hop to Videy Island, a small, beautiful island packing a punch and cracking cup of hot chocolate. The first building built of stone in Iceland. A space of blues and greens and heavy clouds. Shades of grey and layers of mustard. Last ferry back 6pm.

Given the Reykjavik coach tourist industry we kind of assumed a lot of people would be tramping round Videy. It was deserted. A couple of people on the ferry we never saw again and the odd figure in the distance.

So much to see, absorb, wildlife, wildflowers and silence. Dotted with artwork and memorials. Yoko Ono’s Imagine Peace Tower; a blue light installation visible between 9.10-8.12. Fifteen men died when HMCS Skeena sank off the island in 1944. Einar Sigurdsson and rescue team saved 198 men via a line secured to the island over several hours during the storm. The men who died set off on floats before the ‘abandon ship’ call was cancelled.

Later, the Bravo bar. Pints of Viking and brighter colours. Reds, yellows and orange. Turquoise and sunshine.
