We had a fun day today with a LOT of driving. We left Reykjavik at 9am, headed east to Jokulsarlon, 375km away. We basically drove straight through, and left the small side trips to the way home, because it seems the bad weather starts here in the mid afternoon.

Jokulsarlon is the edge of a massive glacier. It has icebergs in the lake next to it, which then float out to the sea. Its cool.

Yah, worth the drive! On the way back we stopped at two different waterfalls. The first was Skogafoss. I almost chickened out of climbing the massive mountain but then I did. Good girl. This guy was awesome.

The second one was called Seljafoss, this one had a path around behind. We got a bit wet!

We arrived home at about 11pm. That’s a long drive, it’s true. Lisa does ok on the right side of the road too. Good girl.

Also, the sand of the beaches here is black. That’s weird. Here is a photo from a place in the middle of nowhere. It’s close to the beach, but I think this is actually a lava field. Also is a delicious sunset photo! Night kids!
