Waterfalls on the road to Vik.

After an early start (8:15am) we set off south from Reykjavik towards Vik on the south coast.  First stop was the spectacular Seljalandfoss waterfalls.  Above is a glacier and the waterfalls drop 60m. 



There is a path up the side but no one ventured up it!!



Another 30 minutes down the road and we stopped at the Skogafoss waterfalls.

Needless to say it was very cold again today, but only -5 degrees out of the wind.  Learning from yesterday, I came dressed for the cold weather!



We stopped for a late lunch.  The bread with beetroot butter was an interesting side dish!!!


Some wild Icelandic ponies beside the road!  After this the weather turned into a blizzard and we gave up on other plans for the rest of the afternoon and headed for the hotel in Vik.

    Beetroot butter? Whatever next. Brave you being out in -5 degrees. But spectacular waterfalls.

Day 8 - Driving

 Today we had a day off with a drive between resorts.  As you can imagine there are lots of Paddy fields in Sri Lanka. What I did not expect...
