Back home if we had a day like today, I would say that we were soooo busy. Here though, it feels like we had one of our quieter days. I’ve never felt Spirit of the West’s lyrics, “I need home for a rest” more profoundly than today.
The main events were walking through an art installation, going on a nature walk, spending a few hours organizing travel pictures and then, the thing we were waiting for, our evening kayak through one of Icleand’s fjords. Not at sunset though – we haven’t seen one of those in ages and then finally a 3.5 hour drive to our next bed.
Driving here is dangerous. Traffic you ask? Nope, not even during the busy hours. Narrow roads? Nope, wide enough for two vehicles to easily pass each other. Twisty roads? Nope, at least not for the most part. Bumpy, uneven surfaces on the road? Nope, the #1 is beautifully surfaced; I am sure there are many gravel roads, but we are sticking to the ring road.
So, what is it?
The surrounding scenery. It is almost impossible to keep your eyes on the road. Waterfalls, snow capped mountain peaks, fields of flowers, fjords, birds, lakes, cool clouds and more. I even saw a seal. Jason and I take turns driving so we each get a chance to see what we are driving through.
