Also our second day in Iceland was under a similar bad star as the first. We were in good shape for the afternoon, but by then we were beating (or our beautiful SUV) rain, snowstorms and wind blows. All in and by itself not so wild, the fog cover and all the snow Iceland gives a really mystical painting. Stupid only if you want to leave the car every now and then and even the rain jacket with 10000ml water column and umbrella after 15 minutes the service fail and you are already at 10 tomorrow after the first stop completely soaked in the car sits. But, of course, we do not let that happen, and we went on with the sightseeing, rented for the evening but again in a guest house to get clothes (and bones) a little dry …
Despite the rain, we have seen a lot. First we saw the waterfall “Skogafoss”, then we went on to our first black sand beach in Iceland. Here it was next to rain also super little, which is why we felt in the meantime as if we were shot with small needles. To warm us up again, we had a coffee at a restaurant in Vik, where we were surprised by sudden snowfall. Then it was then but we predicted really nice, why we could the last 50 km to our guest house the beautiful landscape of Iceland finally duly enjoyed. That led us even then to a short detour to a horse pasture to look at a few Islandponys.
Since the night was also cloud-free, we were still looking at the polar bearers, but unfortunately we had no luck this time. But we still have a little time for it 🙂
