Tuesday - Vik to Hvolsvöllur

It was a fairly short distance to Hvolsvöllur in drizzle and light rain but we were soaked and dried three times. 

First a stop at Kirkjufjara opposite Vik

Then past lush fields

Then Skogafoss where we got soaked in by the mist and the rain

Pretty impressive 

Short hike above the falls

A smaller waterfall above Skogafoss in the fog and the mist.

As we continued the trip, we took a wrong turn and ended up in Nebraska

Next on to Seljalandsfoss where there is a trail behind the falls.

Below the falls, the wind shifted and the mist really soaked me

A ram posed for us

Some flora at the falls

After checking in with our host, we attempted a hike.  But the road to the trail required that we ford a river, which was expressly prohibited by our car rental company.  On the way we saw yet another waterfall.

With yet more flora from the area which actually had trees nearby.  Tress are not a on sight in Iceland.

Cold and wet, we decided to end our day with a rare indoor activity - a visit to the Saga Museum.  The Saga was part if the oral history of Iceland around 1000 and as written down around 1200.  Lots of feuds, retributions, reconciliations, killings, and blood money (compensation) paid.  In several instances, women had their husbands killed for slapping them.

Our lodging for the night was a studio apartment through AIRBNB.
