On our way up, we met a girl who asked us if we would like to see one-day old new born baby ducks. We held one in our hands and who would believe that they have incredibly hot feet?! So cool, so cute!!
For about an hour, we climbed up and the nature, its rocks, the wild growing colorful flowers in the middle of the vast landscapes was just undescribable. The Irish moss is so soft. When you lay down on it you never want to get up again...
We built our own family stone pile as you can see them everywhere - obviously built by trolls.
When we took a deep breath, looked in all directions and did see nothing but pure nature, we felt solidly grounded. This was the moment we were looking for during this vacation. Leaving all the stress, the noise, the mobile phones, the iPads, Playstation games behind us!
We left 'Sel' to head down South along the coast side to Vik. On our way we passed Selfoss and went for some grocery shopping. Food and especially eating out is quite expensive and we wanted to go for some picnics on our trip - as long as the weather would stay good.
The landscape was changing and we passed quite a vast landscape with its own charme. This was a perfect scenery for a science fiction movie.
We stopped at Keldur - a manor farm and now museum with old turf houses and a church. A moment to think of how lucky we are to live nowadays in comfortable houses.
Luckily enough, it only rained a few minutes when we were driving. Whenever we got out of the car the weather was just perfect with the sun shining at 14C.
We could picnic on the road and towards the evening arrived in Dyrhólaey cape where we drove up a serpentine 120m high to perpendicular cliffs with a black sand beach.
The evening we arrived at our next accomodation close to the harbour town of Vik. It was rather unspectacular. Nice and friendly hosts, clean rooms and again, very very cosy beds to sleep in.
Again, we went to bed early - despite the sun still shining around 11 pm ....
