CAFE

Litlibær is a cafe with interesting memorabilia set up in an historic 19th-century farmstead
on Skötufjörður. The owner was born and raised on the land, and these days his family
dotes on weary tourists, offering tasty heart-shaped waffles, coffee and tips on spotting the
seals and Celtic ruins nearby. After filling your belly, scout out the picnic table about
200m north - they've set out a small box with binoculars for viewing the blubbery beasts.
