ICELAND - day 19

02.09.13
Back to Reykjavik, not without a dose of pelting rain and fierce winds! We kept on our tour of the Reykjanes peninsula, after visiting the Geological and Saltfish Museum in Grindavik. Rosie managed also to taste the fermented shark, an Icelandic speciality (apparently). Me, I stayed put with a slice of chocolate cake and a latte.

We then moved on along the coast between rain-sun-cloud-sun-rain-cloud-sun…

and we reached some wild seashore, a geothermal pool and station, and the Bridge Over Two Continents, on the fissure where the two earth plates meet (and separate by 1 cm every year).

We then turned back to the capital and unloaded the van at our friend’s house, then we took back the van to Kuku Campers.

It’s been a very pleasant holiday, full of things seen (and still to be seen) – surely we have to come back as this country’s really inspiring. After a shower, we had dinner at the house and tomorrow we’re planning some shopping. I’m looking forward to a warm, soft sleep… :)
