Jafet Olafsson and the Icelandic meal he prepared

During our cruise aboard the Oriana we made a stop at Akureyri, a town in the north of Iceland. My colleague on the EBL Executive Committee, Jafet Olafsson, lives in Reykjavik and has a summer home in Husavik, an hours drive from Akureyri. Jafet met us at the ship and took us on a tour of the beautiful area. Then we went to his summer home where he had prepared a lunch consisting of tasty Icelandic traditional foods - smoked lamb, smoked trout. gravlax, jellied sheeps head, lyfrapylsa (a sausage made with sheeps innards and resembling Scottish haggis) and dried fish.
Jafet went out of his way to show us around, driving hundreds of miles and going to a lot of trouble.
(Doreen will prepare an account with pictures and more details when the cruise has finished. In the meantime there are some pictures of some of the highlights here.)
