Iceland - Skogafoss but not as we know it (without tourists)

The word I’d use to describe the accommodation is basic, which is surprising for a place for over £200 per night. The towels has that ‘I’ve not been dried properly and smell faousty’ smell. Reyka had another long nap so we didn’t leave until 11am, so only had 30 mins to whizz around the island in the sunshine. There are still gale force winds so we decided to not go to the windiest place in Europe. Instead, we visited the elephant rock and the first settlement house.

The ferry back to the mainland was rocky. A family next to us had their children throwing up. Not pleasant. Reyka just wanted to walk around.

We drove to Skogafoss, which is much busier than our previous visits. Reyka loved watching the waterfall. After Vik, the cars got fewer and fewer. Tonight we are staying in Klausterhof guesthouse in Kirkjubæjarklaustur. It very much has the feel of a hostel, but like a hotel inside. I do love the tradition of keeping shoes outside the rooms and each room is given a shoe rack. A picnic in the room for dinner and then bed by 8pm.

Overnight - Hotel Klausturvegur, Kirkjubæjarklaustur
