SLEEPING IN AN OLD SCHOOLHOUSE

We made it out of the Westfjords later that day, desperately seeking overhead shelter for the night as all our camping equipment was still soaked from that morning’s soggy wakeup call. Lonely Planet mentioned an old schoolhouse-turned-hotel in Laugar that sounded good to us – only, we arrived to find it seemingly closed for the season. While I was roaming the property and eyeing the hot pool just up the hill, Karolina did some schmoozing with a family that lived just nextdoor and somehow convinced them to contact the hotel owner to let us stay for the night. Though the hotel itself was not open, she was nice enough to put us up in an old classroom complete with cushy mattresses. Aside from a small group of foreigners occupying the floor below, we had the whole place to ourselves. Shame that we had a massive kitchen at our disposal and all we had to make in it was pasta! #historicculture#tripfoodie#summervacation#hotelstay
