the view from our window and below along the road…

I woke up today to sun streaming through the valley. Everything looked so different much better.
We set out to explore the East side of the huge peninsular.
As we travelled along we stopped at waterfalls and jaw dropping views.

Again we saw loads of swans and ducks and geese, stone-terns, arctic terns and many other small birds.
We crossed over the plateau and today could see the views, not obscured by clouds today.

The countryside was so pretty and varied. Lots of deep fjord water, streams joining up to make small rivers with waterfalls all along the hill and cliff sides.

It’s difficult to explain how beautiful it is. I hope my pics help!

We eventually came to a small village with a jetty near a causeway.

We explored around and found a tiny sandy beach. We sat down to eat our picnic and watch the seabirds all around. Then we noticed steam rising from the beach and surrounding water. The water was hot!
We had found a hot spring seeping into the sea.
There were lots of shells and as well loads of tiny white coral washed up on this beach. We were delighted to see this…

What a brilliant last day in this area, we travel along the north of the island tomorrow , but sad to leave here.

This is for our grandchildren. Down the road from our holiday house is a Viking house and museum,

The vikings grew grass on their roof.
