    Day 17 - Half way through our holiday

    June 18, 2024 in Iceland ⋅ ☁️ 5 °C

    A quieter day today.
    We woke to lovely weather again, we've been so lucky.
    Our kids were so keen to go back up the mountain and play in the snow ❄️
    It took bloody near an hour to get everyone in the correct gear (well done Andrew, Dagny was at work) and off we went. Started walking up to an area and Danny disappeared into a hole 🙈 so scraped that idea and went down the mountain a bit. Guy was getting snow down his boots, Kelsey ended up quite wet, all kids were a bit tired (and adults 🙈) so most of us piled back in the car and Ari & Guy & Kels slide most of the way down the mountain towards home 😅

    Slower afternoon until Dagny came home then we put the men on dinner duty while Dagny and I took the kids through the tunnel to the next town to the pools. Unfortunately the waterslide was not working but we have fun all the same, was nice to be in the hot pools. Pools were outside and warm and the air 10°.
    It's mandatory to shower here before hopping into the pools, usually a communal shower 🚿

    Back through the tunnel home to dinner. Tonight's menu was steak, horse 🙈, spuds and salad. Yes we cooked some horse. Tastes a little like corned beef but more salty.

    We sit down now to make plans for the next 48 hours as we need to make our way 5 hours by car to Reykjavík to fly out Friday morning.

    Not many photos today sorry!
