    A rest day today after the epic F26.

    Got talking to Thomas (Swiss) at Laugar campsite who was interested in my tent - the Tarptent Scarp-1. Thomas has a very impressive old Land Cruiser + fridge + rooftent + tent + 3 children. His wife (also Swiss) grew up in Chandler's Ford and lived 1 km from my house - small world.

    After a car rearrangement (my fourth) I washed off the F26 dust and showered. Change of socks today NB travel-bloggers: merino does eventually pong a bit!

    Cold and rainy so headed to Myvatn which I visited in 2001. Much has changed. Parking charges at tourist sites now - so parked up and e-biked.

    Lunch was local rye bread and smoked trout served by a Scotsman with an Icelandic accent.
