Southeast coast

First thing today I went on a short hike up the hill near where I was camping the night before.  The weather has cleared up so although it was cold the were great views over the snow topped fjord.


I then followed the road further southeast, which is an amazing route skirting around one fjord then the next.  I stopped at a black sand beach for a short while.



Later I stopped for a coffee break at a small town shopping the way.  I tried an Icelandic donut which was nice.  It's less sweet and the dough is heavier.

They had built an eggcellent tourist trap in this village, stone eggs showing the different eggs itf birds from the region.

Later I came across another beach where I stopped for lunch.  There was black sand, pebbles and rock pools, lovely. It was actually relatively warm in the nook I found as the sun was ahead and the cliff provided shelter from the wind.


By the time I got to Höfn I decided I was too tired for any more driving so I stopped here. I found a walk which was based on the solar system starting at the sun and finishing at Neptune.  I didn't really need much of Sam excuse though as there were amazing views of the Vatnajökull glaciers across the bay.

I then returned from Neptune back to the car and set up camp.  The camp itself isn't that great but it's fine. It has showers at least, tracking of which I need a wash.
