Rolling Hills and Breathtaking Landscapes

Day number 2 of our solar outbreak in Iceland.  We needed to shed layers again and double our sunscreen protection.  Preliminary forecasting calls for rain tomorrow.  After that it may return to sunshine.  What a bonus.  The temperature is in the 50's but when you bundle up for rain and 40's you are more than warm. 

We made our way across the so called "northern" part of Iceland.  It included a long tunnel through an extinct volcano.  Then our journey required using a gravel through across one of their volcanic mountains.  The road challenged me with many turns, dips and twists.  Mike and I alternate driving chores and today is my day.  Luck of the draw.

The first picture in my post is what Facebook uses for the "thumbnail" image. I'll give it to Mike and Mary.  We hiked a long way up to reach the falls behind them.

The falls looks like this:

We can even see our hotel from atop the ridge:

We are surrounded by beautiful vistas like this one:

And from the balcony / deck of our hotel room it looks like this:

Not too shabby.l
Jan's watch says we are walking / hiking over 15,000 steps per day and the equivalent of 40 stories of stairways.
