We woke up this morning had breakfast, went grocery shopping and stopped at the bakery. It was so warm this morning that Steve dug into the clothes for his shorts! Then we headed back to the spot we had been going to yesterday before we broke down. It is 75 minutes away, on gravel roads…
Sage slept in this morning until after 9, so I took advantage and slept in too. We woke up, ate breakfast and enjoyed the beautiful weather, the beach and the slide nearby. We took a stroll along the beach and then stopped at the local café for a hot chocolate and to sit outside and…
The weather seems to just get nicer by the day, today included. It has been warm with mild winds. We have been in short sleeves much of the day. Today we woke up and went for a hike just east of Grundafjordur. The hike was one that was listed on all trails. It was easy…
Today was our fourth day here on the Snaefellsnes peninsula. The weather continues to be beautiful. Today was even better – less windy and a bit warmer. We woke up and did some errands – laundry, grocery shopping, gas. The food tour taught us that we like Icelandic hot dogs (something I never would have…
Today was beautiful… Clear, sunny, highs in the mid-50s. A bit windy in places, but not everywhere. We woke up, Steve ran, we ate breakfast and stopped at the only supermarket on this end of the peninsula. Then we drove into the Snaefellsnes national park and hiked the Raudholl loop. It was gorgeous. We walked…

We woke up this morning and drove to a nearby lookout for breakfast. Then we drove to the end of the island and hiked around looking at the cliffs, the birds and sheep. We met another couple with a little girl that was 15 months. There were a lot of people at first, but once…
Yesterday we woke up and drove to a hike from the ring road. It was beautiful. We saw a few people as we arrived and a few on the way out, otherwise it was just us and birds and sheep along the whole valley. We walked for about 3.5 miles round trip. The trail followed…
Today was a beautiful day here in Porsmork. We woke up to nicer weather, no rain and dry clothes! We got ready and headed out the hike we had intended to do yesterday – about 8 miles total. Just as before, every view is breathtaking here and we immediately felt like we were alone in…
It was raining this morning here in Porsmork, with a forecast that showed rain all day. We know this is Iceland. We were planning on a long hike, but we decided to push that until tomorrow and picked a shorter one. Fortunately, we just got Sage a good rain coat and pants at the Hagkaup…
