Mission accomplished

At last we have sunshine. Its still cold. The tents are icy and I have little icebergs in my water bottles when I wake.

We are quite close now to the Langjökull ice cap and also within reach of civilization. Soon we reach the end of the “impassable” section of the road - but with quite a bit more gravel to go. However now we must share with a number of monstrous off road tourist vehicles - high and with huge wheels, destined to take people for a ride on the glacier. On the whole they are not so kind to us (with the odd exception). Then suddenly (and earlier than expected) we are back on tarmac. Its such an exciting moment after several days on gravel. We are very pleased with ourselves - so a little photographic celebration is in order!Læs mere
