When we finally reached Akureyri, we unanimously decided to abjure our explorer wiles and get the hell into an air bnb with a proper shower and abundant heating. The following day, our glorious host drove us up to a hiking trail above the town.
Sad but true, I believe the culprit was so vast an array of incredible landscapes, thoroughly inundated with baby totin’ tourists who might have pushed us into the waterfall. That said, the true glory of this experience was the utter lack of safety precautions around this environment. Allowing the idiots among us to teeter just over the drop.
Along luxurious drive up the coast, an abrupt turning of the weather. Things got awfully cold once we crossed the southern threshold and moved through the great glaciers up towards the highlands.
I suppose I’ll have to move on to day 4 at some point, but all in good time..
