I can’t believe it’s Thursday evening already! I’m going to report on our day yesterday, and then do the same for today, tomorrow (I hope that makes sense 😜).
After our long first half of the day catching up and enjoying the Viking Café (which, despite a bit of a shabby exterior, served a amazing latté and had the fastest internet we’ve seen yet), we took off in the van to work our way back west, with the goal of hitting a campground in Hveragerði last night. In between, we had about 420 km (about 260 miles) to cover. Along the way, we enjoyed the following:
Next up was a beautiful canyon that we’d missed the day before, called Fjaðrárgljúfur (don’t even try pronouncing that; it’s only thanks to Wikipedia that I can spell it, even with the Icelandic alphabet).
It was a highlight of the trip so far for me. I’ll even include a link to the Photo Sphere I shot as well (think Google Street View). Here’s a few of my attempts to capture it with my iPhone:
The last stop of the day, before the campground, was another waterfall we’d missed the previous day, called Skógafoss. We arrived there about 11:30 pm, but there was still enough light to get some good shots.
I hope you’re not getting too tired of waterfalls, as we’re not done yet! This one is probably the most popular of them all.
I must say, we have been so lucky with the weather this entire time, it’s truly astounding. Of course it looks like that may come to an end, just as the trip is coming to an end. Today was pretty rainy, as you’ll from tomorrow’s post, and tomorrow’s forecast is the rainiest yet, and Friday & Saturday look similar. I’m sure we’ll just make the best of it though.
That’s it for now, check back tomorrow!
