Headlines read: DISASTER STRIKES...Sundlaug/Hot Pot/Pool streak snapped at three days. The one we had our sights set on closes early on Saturdays, strangely, so we did not get our daily dip or - gasp - shower. This did, however, give us more time to explore a cute old fishing village, cook up a delicious hodgepodge chili (we'll start taking some food pics mañana!), and try some Icelandic favorites at the local bar.
The day started late, on purpose, as we decided to book a fun glacier snowcat/hike excursion - whether pending - to the top of Snaefellsjokull. After waking up to the pitter-patter of rain on the tent and cloudy skies, it was no surprise that the 10:00 tour wasn't leaving. We enjoyed our "lay-in" nonetheless, and braced ourselves for the last stretch of tough headwinds. We pedaled hard, highly motivated, as the end of the peninsula meant the wind turning our way. We may have even forgotten we were on mountain bikes for brief stretches.
Although there was something cool about the novelty of the arctic terns yesterday, we think we reached their headquarters today and will not be upset should they show up on the menu at our next stop.
there are better sounds than pitter patter to wake up to...
