Snaefellsnes NP

Long day, exploring the countless views and sites of this little National Park. Really diverse and nice: volcanos, sea, glacier, little villages… Jan does a little early start to a Foss nearby (Svoedufoss), while the rest wakes up. Then the family start with the easy Saxhóll Crater (stairs go up to the crater rim). And we earn the Raudhóll Crater (45min walk - almost nobody there ). No break: Over a bumpy F-road, up to the Hregnassi trailhead. We walk 30min up through lava landscape to the pointy peak. we are lucky: the sun comes out for us. Great views over the volcano craters below and the sea …

Since we are sooooo desperate for salad (after sandwiches and pizza and hotdogs last days), we shop a 10EUR (!) salad, some tomatos , cucumber, Feta , etc for dinner - on the way in a tiny village shop. Just a quick stop for a lunch picnic (sandwich!) at a nice beach near Olavsvik, and onwards .

Afternoon program: The Ytri Tunga seal beach (cool to see these lazy folks lying around on the rocks), the Budir black church (cute), and a coffee / ice cream 🍦 stop in Arnarstapi. From here we also have great view on the Snelfellnesjokul (glacier) that was covered in clouds until now.

A few more stops on the way to look at the super coast views (black beach, rock formations …. and so on). Watching the ESP ENG euro final Penalty shoot out on this cool beach 🏝️… on a iPhone screen. #RealFans

Home for (salad) dinner and tired 🥱… in the hostel , we see a nice movie ("The Home Game") about the local football team Reynir FC (yes! Really entertaining good movie. Fun to watch . No idea why they do not put it on YouTube)Read more
