11 Sept

A brilliant day today, sunshine 10*c (but a wicked icy wind) and clear views everywhere. What a contrast from yesterday!

We are actually at Vestrahorn staying in their farm guesthouse. So after breakfast in their Viking cafe we got onto the beach.

It is black sanddunes and striking cliffs. So many colours, orange green grey and topped with snow.

We are below a glacier field which is why the wind feels so icy….it is!

We spent ages exploring the beach and up to a nato radar station commanded by the Icelandic coastguard. The lighthouse is located close by.

There is a Viking village replica made for filming, but it is neglected and not up to its hype….

Otherwise here is beauty of a natural environment, seabirds and views to die for.

We back _tracked north for an hours drive  this morning to see the sights that were covered by clouds yesterday. So a few of todays photos. We take hundreds!

Back in Hofn we went to the harbour and it’s surroundings of marshland and islands. You can see the glacier so well from here.

Oh and an icecream. They fill the cornet with vanilla icecream from a machine, and then you chose dark chocolate or milk chocolate, it is runny and poured or rather dipped over the entire icecream and hardens with the cold of the icecream. It is really nice, we’ll be going back there again!

Also do you like this house we passed by Louis, Otis, Xavi and Alice? It had trolls everywhere and even little houses and a church for them!
