Day 4 in Iceland
Last night in our Höfn Guesthouse, we had just finished dinner at 8pm and a Dutch couple came through the dining room and out on to the balcony. They shouted "the aurora is outside". Off we went to find the darkest place we could find to watch. It danced for more than an hour and was so clear. Our best one yet. So lucky ❤️
Stokknes, Viking Village and Vestrahorn mountain -
We set off on our walk to get the best view if the mountain and the clouds came in! By the time we reached the Viking Village, built for a film, (used in the Witcher) the clouds had disappeared and we had our photo.
Red Chair-
We then went to look for the red chair, that is seen on my map. Alas, all that was left was just a red chair leg!! So we took some sunny photos, (which I can't find!) And then left.
989 Oxi Road -
We decided to take the short cut to Egilstaddir where we were staying at theTehúsid hostel. A risk as the road was a gravel track and as we were heading east, we were heading towards the snow. The road was fine and actually quite exciting, moving into another completely different terrain and scenery.
