Iceland - day 5 vikings

Started off the day at church in skalholt, then on to the first waterfall of the day, Hjalparfoss.

We then drove north to a Viking housing development recreation in anticipation for stong, after some advanced puddles we discovered the road to stong is an F road and cannot be travelled on by 2wd rental cars. On to Haifoss Waterfall. Being from Maine it is a sub par dirt road but you can make it within 600 meters, of the fall with a car. Walk the last bit and you will be amazed. Will post tons later. We stopped by a sheep sorting corral and saw some Icelandic horses.

Logan Airport Terminal E - is great, I always like flying out of Logan, water bottle filling stations not crappy water fountains or super hot bathroom water ( more on this at KEF).

They charge for water and all snacks on the plane so stock up in the airport before boarding. They are definitely a good option for an affordable flight from BOS to KEF. Your going to get emails about APIS & ESTA if you are traveling from the US as ...

Iceland - Day 11 Glymur

The parking area for glymur is called Botnsdalur, from there it is a moderate hike up. Not a hard hike but tons of shear cliffs and loose rocks leading to a cliff. It is so worth it though, climb up to the top and you can traverse the glacial stream ( barefoot) and then climb down the other ridge. It is now time to pack as it is wheels up from KEF tomorrow afternoon.
