I drove from Thingvellir National Park down to Eyrarbakki, then on to Vík with a stop at Skógafoss. If you’re wondering where those things are, here’s the route.

Landscapes and colors at Thingvellir…

Eyrarbakki, by the sea, was so colorful!

Here’s one of the beautiful farms I passed driving east along Route 1 (the Ring Road)…

Skógafoss.

Vík. Make sure you notice in the far right, just above the land – this town is on the sea.

I checked the weather on my phone when I got to my final destination for the day. I was much more impressed with the destination than with the weather. (Actually Þykkvabæjarklaustur, but I guess that’s too Icelandic for my phone.)
