Mayhem

I´m at the only internet connection I could find in reykjavik. Apparently also the only place people can go to make international phone calls here. It´s mayhem. The line is out the door, not for the internet, but for the phones, I paid $3 for 30 mins of time and I´m sandwiched between two smelly people speaking in strange languages. So I apologize if this post is a bit short. The blog is suffering from the expensive internet.



Jessa and I are heading to þorsmork in about 50 minutes. It´s nights #4 and #5 of sleeping in a tent. I´m VERY glad I was able to reserve space in the hut in Landmannalauger and regretting not putting more time there. I am thinking my travel plans may change a bit as I am tired and not getting a ton of sleep in a tent considering it is never light out. It´s going to be crowded in the tents too once we are in thorsmork as all our bags will need to fit in as well.



Part of why I am so tired is that every day feels like an eternity. Yesterday we hiked in alpine meadows with two large glaciers on either side. Saw a 100 ft waterfall below columnar basalt. Walked up to a glacier. And along a 2 million year old canyon and then went to the beach. Each day seems like 5 and I feel i have been gone a month rather than a few days. I wish I had more time to share it all. What is apparent is that any time you turn off the road in this place you will see something amazing!!



I´m curious what will be next. þorsmork and landmannalauger are in the interior so I may not be able to update for a while. I´m scheduled to arrive in Akureyri on the 6th and plan to make that a firm plan since I actually have a night in a hotel then. Can´t wait to close the curtains and sleep in the dark.



More soon...
