Thursday 4 September




What a sensational day we had today....we had to start making our way back to Reykjavik...the weather was just perfect, so sunny and still....we stopped at many places on the way to our overnight stopover at Hvammerstangi...and I took so many photos, everything looked so beautiful. This shot of me, Pete took, behind me is Lake Myvatn, looking so magical, we are sad to leave this truly wonderful place.




Clouds....they are just magnificent in Iceland. The conditions were ideal to capture some delightful reflections.




Svalbaroseyri....a little town on the Eyjafjordur (fiord)... And this is the view up the fiord from it's little lighthouse which Pete and I climbed.




I finally managed to get a photo of the beautiful Icelandic horses , well, one that I am happy with. These are two stallions having a little tussle , they scared the living daylights out if Pete and I.




We travelled round the Vatnsnes Peninsula in the late afternoon, I took this near the town of Osar...it is such a serene, peaceful place, Pete and I loved it.




I just had to post this photo, the sheep have been a constant source of delight. They are often by the road , sometimes lying on the side of the road as they obviously like the warmth of the bitumen. They are however , clever enough to get out of the way, so we often see their wiggling little rear ends running away....they are so cute.
