Last full day, nothing too exciting, just spent a bit of time in Reykjavik, but did spot a couple furry stickers and got some good fish and chips. Heading home soon!
Started in Ólafsfjörður, and had to backtrack to avoid driving in very dangerous winds on the coast.snowstorm has been chasing us, so after a quick stop in Akureyri, took the mountain pass across the troll peninsula, finally out of danger of getting snowed in. Stopped by Fosslaug and a hot spring.
Saw plenty of reindeer and sheep on the way
Left puffin zone, did a hike, started heading west through the highlands and did a detour to the most amazing little campsite: Möðrudalur/Fjalladýrð
And then after a slightly intense moubtian pass, Borgarfjarðarhöfn - it's the absolute best spot to see puffins up close! I took hundreds of amazing photos, I don't know how to even start going through them!
There is the coolest most chill reindeer here! Just walks around in this super photogenic farm and doesn't mind anybody! Just taking a nap 20 feet away from our van!
Today was a lot of driving, went to Snæfellsjökull National Park, stopped by kirkjufell. Have a bunch of camera photos but its real late now.
Last full day! First went to Eldborg crater, then Thingvellir, then ended where we started at the Thingvellir campsite, did a hike there to some ruins. Great day to end the trip. Tomorrow we're hitting Reykjavik again, flying out that evening!
Today was super windy, cold, and rainy. Went to the geothermal Hverir and did the traverse there, extremely windy hike. Then travelled around Lake Mývatn. Headed up to Husavik, an extremely pretty little town, before heading around partway up the troll peninsula. Lots of incoming storm warnings...
