| Sunny day in Iceland |
We woke up into a beautiful morning with clear blue skies. After spending a week in Iceland with almost constant rain it was such a pleasant surprise. The temperatures rose during the day to as much as 16 degrees Celsius, making Marko go out in short sleeves and allowing me to strip down my layers of clothing to just one cardigan.
We drove along the coast, following the ring road along fjords, admiring the beautiful sunny day and nature all around us. The pastures were full of grazing sheep and horses and the waters abundant with countless bird species.

The road led us inwards over a pass where a severe wind was blowing but it was still sunny and the views were magnificent.

We visited Lake Lagarfljót which was muddy and unimpressive. But we stopped because the lake is known for alleged sightings of a worm monster, the Lagarfljótsormurinn or what we understand to be the Icelandic version of the Loch Ness monster. We didn't see any monsters which is good because seeing one is supposed to bring bad luck.

We spent the night in Vopnafjörður, another one of many pretty little sleepy fishing villages.
