Day 7 - On the way to Hofn

Today we drove along the east coast in and out of many fjords.  The scenery has continued to amaze us, plus we drove through a few tunnels.  One was one lane, so you had to be prepared to pull over mid tunnel to let others pass, and one was nearly 4 miles long.

This is an Icelandic horse.  He kind of looks like Donald Trump.  No other horses are allowed to come to the island, and if an Icelandic horse leaves, it isn't allowed to return.

Sheep are everywhere.  The even nap on the road.  They are kind of cute.  We have still not seen any puffin or reindeer.

We visited a beach with tiny black pebbles, which was also cool.  I wanted to bring them home.

We spent the afternoon on an amazing (and long) hike to a glacier!


Our evening wrapped up with another amazing meal in an old building on the waterfront.  

No new activity with the volcano, but they have told us that even if something happens, we are out of the danger zone!
