• Well, it IS Iceland!

    6月2日, アイスランド ⋅ 🌬 5 °C

    We got up and hit the road, running from the snow. We are driving a 4x4 but with summer tires and did not want to risk the mountains in a blizzard. Our plan worked and after the first hour or so of rain, it was actually a pretty nice day. But cold and VERY windy. After a quick stop at Godafoss (a waterfall which looked like a smaller Niagara Falls), we headed for the west coast, out of the mountains. Communicating with our agent at Nordic Visitor, (thank God for the mobile hotspot provided), we drove to Stykkisholmur in the Snaefellsnes peninsula. We were driving around beautiful fiords with snow capped mountains in the background. Unfortunately about 30% of the road on the peninsula was gravel, making for a long, slow trip.
    that night we stayed in another Foss Hotel. It was too cold and windy to explore the town so we ate in and binge watched Clarkson's Farm.

    The next morning we took a brief car ride around the town (not much to see) and bought a delicious lunch to go at a local bakery.
    Not sure about tomorrow. The “almost gale force winds” according to the Meterologist Association are predicted to continue.
