20 GUIDE TO ICELAND. mail to Herra Havsteen, the manager of the Icelandic trading company’s store at Oddeyri, near Akureyri; and at Sey!&isfjdr¥>r, by writing to the enterprising proprietor of the very comfortable hotel recently erected there.1 The hire of ponies at either place will be about the same as at Reykjavik, viz. two kroner each per diem, including the loan of a saddle; but they cannot, as a rule, be bought so cheaply. Some further hints as to the selection of localities for fishing and shooting will be found under the heading Outfit, and in the Chapter devoted to those subjects. The Camoens makes a voyage to Ror^Seyri, Sey^Sisjjdr’Sr and Akureyri in September, therefore sportsmen experience no difficulty now in returning to England if they stay on into the autumn for the grouse shooting. Husavik, in the north-east, and Saw&akrdkr,2 in the north-west, called at by the Danish steamers, are also good ports at which to land, shooting and fishing being obtainable within easy distance of each place ; but there would be some difficulty in obtaining guides speaking English were a number of sportsmen to flock there at one time. A letter by a prior mail to Herra GmSjohnsson, the hospitable merchant at 1lusavik, requesting him to mention to the farmers trading at his store, that a couple of Englishmen would arrive by a certain steamer and need ten ponies and a guide, and doubtless he would do so; and both guide and ponies would be at Husav'ik when the steamer arrived, so that there would be no delay in making a start. At Saw6akrukr, a similar letter to the innkeeper there would doubtless also result in the providing of ponies and guide. Reykjavik being the nearest port to pingvettir, the Gey sir and Hekla, the author has selected it as the starting-point for four out of the five tours which he recommends tourists to make in Iceland. Akureyri should be selected as the port of debarkation by any one who has seen, or who does not care to see, the sights de rigeur, but who wishes to visit Askja, the Hyvatn region, the wild valley of the northern Jokulsd, and other places of interest in the north and east. He will find the tour from Akureyri eastward described in Route 3, and should he wish to cross the island to Reykjavik, he should return to Akureyri, and thence Routes 3 and 6 will guide him westward and southward to the capital by the road usually travelled. Should he desire to cross 1 The author does not know the hotel-keeper’s name, but a letter addressed Herra Gsestgiver, SejSisffor^Sr, Iceland, will find him. s Substitute &au%(ikrdkr for Sey'&isfjorfr.
