From north to west Iceland
It was like sleeping in the Tropics last night. I have no idea where the heat was coming from but the wall beside me was really hot, the floor too, so even with no covers and the window open, the outside temperature being 5 degrees max, I was soooo hot! Otherwise, our guest house Hvithusid was perfect! And believe it or not, as we left, who should we see, but the Albatross, the ship I was on 18 months ago. It seems decades ago. Back on the road again and this time much more pleasant weather conditions than yesterday in that it hardly rained. But, it was amazingly cold, with a biting wind from the north. Thank goodness for merino clothing! As on previous days, the scenery was fascinating with plenty of dramatic changes. We were back to the empty roads once again, although later in the day this changed somewhat - never really busy though! The first hour out of Akureyri was gorgeous and we could certainly see the fresh snow on the mountain tops! What a stunning valley and gorge this was. ...
