Finally Here

As I write this, we have been up for over 30 hours and we are SO tired!

We are now in Arnarstapi. We went on a hike along the coast and marveled at the basalt columns and Gatklettur - the Arch Rock in Arnarstapi. There is also a rock sculpture of Bárður Snæfellsás who they say was the settler of this area. He was half a troll and half a man, but his mother was human. He is said to be the Protector of the Snæfellsnes Peninsula.

We are camped at the base of Mt. Stapafell. We’ve managed to avoid the protective Arctic terns who have been dive bombing our heads 😂, we had a quick dinner and now it’s 7:00 pm and we’re climbing into bed.

Tomorrow we will continue around the Snæfellsnes Peninsula in West-Iceland.Read more
