also owns Hótel Egilsen down the road.

Eating
Nesbrauð BAKERY
( MAP GOOGLE MAP ; 438 1830;Nesvegur 1;snacks Ikr355-1200; 8am-5pm)
On the way out of town, this bakery is a good choice for a quick breakfast or lunch. Stock
up on sugary confections such as kleinur (traditional twisty doughnuts) or ástar pungur
(literally 'love balls'; fried balls of dough and raisins).
