To be precise all the way to the international airport at Keflavík it was. We went yesterday to fetch my mum, who's gonna stay for about 2 weeks. Of course we used the chance and invited Hjördís to come, too. 
We stayed at a flat in Reykjavík for one night and planned the next days as we wanted to take quite a detour on the way back home. Unfortunately the weatherforecast wasn't brilliant, so we decided to go not all the way to the Westfjords, but still take a tiny glimpse.
But first Reykjavík it was! We had heard about a new exhibition at the Pearl, where they rebuilt an icecave and an interactive show about glaciers. It was still the tryout period so they offered people to come and visit for just 1 ISK. We definitely liked what we saw and the glacier exhibition was a real highlight. We spent quite some time there and still didn't manage to try everything. 
From there we went to Hallgrímskirkja and up the tower to get a good overview. After a short shopping stop we headed out of town in direction to Snæfellsnes. There weren't as many tourists as we'd expected and an easy drive. The first stop was nearly at the western end of the peninsula at Rauðfelðar canyon, which I didn't even know existed. It was very special to walk into a very narrow canyon, following a small river and just a little bit of light from above. As I was carrying my camera I didn't explore as far as Ingólfur and Hjördís, but got a good glimps inside. 
On we went to Arnastapi and from there to the western end and back east on the northern side of Snæfellsnes, passing farms and villages. The plan was to stay overnight at Bjarkalundir, which is at the most eastern point of the Westfjords. But it still was quite a drive there. So we decided to stop að Búðardalur to get dinner. And wow, we weren't disappointed! The place itself didn't look special by the outside and the inside was rather interesting as the kitchen was a kind of hut inside the restaurant. But the food... delicious! So I recommend, that you stop by Veiðistaðurinn when you are hungry around Búðardalur!
From there we went more or less straight to Hotel Bjarkalundur, where the wellknown Icelandic tv-show "Dayshift" was filmed. There were even some of the props still there. Think I've got to watch it again!
After a good rest and breakfast we moved on to the Westfjords on a gravelroad (not my favourite) and even met a herd of cows on the way to Hólmavík. There we visited the Museum of Icelandic Sorcery and Witchcraft, where we got a lot of information about Icelandic sorcerers. Interesting fact is, it was mostly men accused for sorcery here. From there we went straight north, eager to get back home.
Nice to do a trip like that and see some areas not visited before.
