Today we went to Heimaey Island on the local ferry. There are lots of smaller islands on the way to Heimaey, however it is the only populated one of the 15 islands. We walked up to the volcano crater, which for some people was quite a hike not mentioning any names....Miss Jackson. When we got to the top the weather was freezing and very windy. heading down from the crater we visited houses that had been covered in the eruption in 1973.We then went to watch a DVD in a local cafe on the eruption and the effects it had on the town and island and also had our lunch. At 3pm we boarded the ferry to return to the main land and went on to our new hotel for 2 nights.
