    End of day 1 and near sheep attack

    July 3, 2017 in Iceland ⋅ ☁️ 8 °C

    After Glymur, we headed northeast towards Borgarnes to check out a cafe on the water that was recommended to us. It was closed when we got there, so we decided to go search for a hidden hot spring we read about. We headed up to an area we think is called Eldborgarhraun. This area is along an active fault line and has multiple volcanos which we could see in the distance. We found the hot spring but didn't get in because it was too shallow. We also made some sheep friends who scared the crap out of me when they popped out of the abandoned shack. There are sheep everywhere in Iceland and apparently they don't care about the laws of the road and will just walk out into traffic. Damn rebel sheep. Then, we found a campground slash weird hostel and set up for the night. The extra big camper van was a great choice and gave us plenty of room to cook, clean, eat and sleep. It is 24 hours of daylight this time of year here, which really threw us off. But once we closed all the curtains, put our sleep masks on and our heads hit the pillows we were out immediately.Read more
