Get up at the early morning and go to the boat terminal, and beside of me, I saw a Icelandic couple also take same boat to go to Grimsey on purpose to redecorate the only Church in Grimsey.  I feel very excited at the beginning of the boat trip and still have mood talking with the boat captain and crew.  After 1 hour, start to feel sea sick and finally need to go to crews' room for resting.  My feeling just like got very heavy drunk but forntunately no vomiting.

After saying good bye with owner's sister, I try to find some cake to eat at the pantry, and taking some rest at living room to watch local TV, and I found there's only 1 TV station and in Icelandic, ok, better than do nothing.

After awhile, I start preparing cameras, tripod, etc., and got ready to cross Artic Circle!  I bring alone my small digital camera for self snapshot, since nobody will help me out to take the photos.  At that time I need to wear my ski goggles to protect my eyes from snow mix with strong winds.  After take some photos crossing the Artic Circle, I start walking to small town at southern part of Iceland, actually not too far but I need spend so much time for walk due to the strong wind, the most amazing thing is there's a warm small river and many duck resting on it.  I went to the small store and buy some chocolates and bread for dinner, and I met guest house owner's father, he is so nice and drive me back to guest house, then I give him pen with some Hong Kong landmark on it as souvenir.
After back to the guest house, taking rest at living room sofa with a glass of milk, watching the sea outside and start fall a sleep.  After 1.5 hours I wake up and watching TV with my dinner, actually I want to go out but a night is too dark and wind is stronger than noon time, so I decided to sleep earlier and get up early to start walk to the soutest part of the Island.

When I get up, I saw one small aircraft landing just beside the guest house, my room exactly facing to airport control centre and the runway.   There's some visitors from New York get off from the plane and start their half day trip in Grimsey, and we will take the same flight back to the Akureyri.  Guest house owner sister later on drive us to go to the church, and I met the couple whom I meet on the boat coming to Grimsey yesterday, and they already start to rerenovate the church.  Later on we go to the southest part of Grimsey to see the orange lighthouse, which is very unique color and nice design.  After few hours tour, we finally back to the airport and need to say good bye to one of my most interested place in the world, Grimsey.

After the aircraft took off, it will fly over 360 degrees on the Island to let us cross over the Artic Circle by aircraft, and we got the certificate from AirIceland to prove that we already cross the Artic Circle.
