Iceland Day 3

Saturday, 3 August 2024

 Once again our day started with rain but by the time we got to our first stop at a geyser park it had pretty much stopped

We are now south and east of Reykavik and today we hit many of the more famous tourist sites - they didn't disappoint. The drives between each of them were really nice too - again lots and lots of horses, green fields and looming crazy shaped cliffs formed by lava.  We also got glimpses of a big glacier in the distance.

Shortly after visiting the waterfall above the weather changed again and it started bucketing down and the wind picked up.  Handily we were almost at our accommodation so we abandoned further plans and went straight there to shelter for a few hours. 

After dinner the weather cleared so we went out to visit the black beach and get a good view of Vik, the town we are staying nearby.

Iceland is very busy with tourists just like us - there are lots more people around than are appearing in my photos I'm just using careful framing! It's not quite as busy as I expected though, there are always spaces in the car parks and it's pretty relaxed.
