I have returned to the very wet and gloomy Reykjav

I have returned to the very wet and gloomy Reykjavik, where I have started from 16 days ago. This concludes my Iceland Ring Road trip, which tops my previous record, the Shikoku Henro road trip by 1 day and is about as long as I can possibly do for a driving itinerary. My head literally starts spinning after 14 days of driving, so I’ll have to keep that in mind for all future trips.
Now I have 3 more days in Reykjavik to explore the museums before my flight to Paris, where I’m planning to lie on a sofa and not move for a week.

Day 4 of my Iceland Ring Road trip was a rainy day

Day 4 of my Iceland Ring Road trip was a rainy day. Very, very rainy day. When they say, don’t come to Iceland without proper raingear – believe it. Even if it’s not raining, you’ll get drenched at larger waterfalls in seconds if you’re not covered from head to toe. Today my raingear proved its worth, especially the pair of rainpants that I last wore 10 years ago and almost passed down to someone who needs them more. Thank goodness I put them in my bag last minute.

I didn’t have to cover a lot of ground today (another lucky thing), so I spent all of my time in Skogar that apart from one very famous waterfall has another waterfall and a very nice local museum.

I actually liked the less famous waterfall (Kvernufoss) more. It’s smaller, but has more character to it. Skogafoss is cool but very… straightforward :)

And this night I’m staying in Vik. Have you seen TV show “Katla”? Yes, there :) Upon my arrival it wasn’t covered in volcanic ash, but was covered in fog, so I still don’t know what it normally looks like. Hopefully tomorrow :)

Day 2 of Iceland Ring Road trip. I spent the day

Day 2 of Iceland Ring Road trip.

I spent the day zigzagging around southwestern Iceland, visiting locations from Dorothy Dunnett’s “House of Niccolo” series. It so happens that each one of them has a church, so it turned out to be a church day, which was perfectly fine by me – Icelandic churches have tons of charm. Today was also my first introduction to turf houses – they are super cute, looking forward to seeing more of them up north.

Where I’ve been today:

Skalholt – one big historic church and a little one inside a turf house.

Stori-nupur – nice little church nestled under a picturesque cliffside.

Skard – charming tiny church in the middle of nowhere. Beautiful Hekla views. Yummy mushrooms growing at the cemetery :)

Keldur – long dirt road (grrrr), amazing location and turf houses. The church was, unfortunately, under renovation.

Hlidarendi – for some it’s an important Saga place, for me it’s a Dunnett place :) Beautiful church in a beautiful location.
