This morning we take a backward path for a rough 30 minutes drive, just to stop by and have a visit on a small town of Stykkishólmur. Well, what is so special in this town you may ask? For us, it was because this town was one of the filming spot for 2013 Ben Stiller movie, the Secret Life of Walter Mitty. It was truly one of the most motivating movie I have ever watch and it really inspire me to live life to its fullness. The scene are scripted as Greenland in the movie but is actually filmed here in Stykkishólmur.

We drove a little to another end of the town over the port to have a walk over Súgandisey. From here you can enjoy a breathtaking view over town of Stykkishólmur, and endless view of ocean over another end. As a bonus, there are also a very scenic lighthouse stand high on the top of the place as well. The wind blow are extremely strong up high, but it was a great place to visit if you are here in Stykkishólmur.
