The day dawned mistily and with our early start travelling westward took some time for it to clear. We soon left the main road and began the long trek across the interior, the unsurfaced road meandering between the boulders of old lava fields. The Langjokull and Hofsjokull ice-caps were visible on the horizon, looking like clouds! After stopping at the hot-springs for lunch several of us enjoyed a dip!
Several more stops were made before reaching the Gullifoss waterfall, the final stop being at the Haukadulur geyser area.
We reached Reykjavic after 10 hours, dusty but very happy with our trip.
