Day 21 - Vik to Hafnarfjordur

We dieseled up in Vik (another $300 to fill the tank from almost empty) and headed back north.  It was a stunner of a day, warm (about 15 degrees) sunny and with very little wind, making it feel warmer than a 15 degree day in winter at home.

We stopped in Hella for the loo and I bought a black sandwich with salmon for lunch.

B requested we swing by the camp site where we packed everything  before the L trail hike. She had a hunch that the charging cable for her Garmin had been dropped on the grass.  We returned to the space where we had camped and had a walk about.

Found it!

Sadly it was no longer intact.

We found the culprit.

It got whacked

We meandered our way to Seltún, another geo-thermal area that is much better there Geysir, and with way less people.

Vikings on the horizon

We stopped for lunch, my black roll was delicious. I think the black is from using activated charcoal in the dough.

Here's some pix from Seltún.

We have camped in Hafnarfjordur where there seems to be a Dacia Duster convention happening.  These cars are EVERYWHERE here, the rental car companies obviously got a job lot of them.  We are frequently stuck behind them going less that the 90k speed limit. One drove in today with orange webbing wrapped around the entire car like a parcel ribbon, obviously needed to stop the roof top tent from flying off.

We are right next to a playground and there is a disc golf (frisbee) area with various challenges.

"hoops" but for frisbees

And a church with quite neat architecture.

There was a wedding group here for photos in an old Porsche, and I was hoping to snap the happy couple as they whizzed past our van on their way to wedded bliss, but they faffed around for AGES and I ended up missing the moment. It's such a stunning day that we parked ourselves on the edge of the playground in our camp chairs to enjoy the weather.
