Gleðilegt ár! - Happy New Year!

We played tourists the last few days, entertaining Diane - I hope.  First we drove west, starting with old farm Keldur...:

 

 

 

 

 

 

... and then Leirubakki Hekla exhibition, ending with shopping in Selfoss.

The next day we went east. It was a beautiful, sunny day at Eyjafjöll...

 

 

 

...as you can see here... 

 

 

...but a few minutes later, when entering Vík, it looked like this:

 

 

 

 

 

 

And the most unexpected things impress tourists:

 

 

 

 

 

 

She had never seen black sand on a beach!!!

(Of course to me it looked more white with snow)

 

 

 

 

 

 

On the other side of the mountain the sun was still shining...

 

 

but in most directions the view was like this.

 

 

 

I could never understand why tourists wanted to go to Vík, but I guess it is the black sand and bad weather. Being in the tourist business, I needed to know these things. Next time we will go further. On the way back we stopped at the glacier, so that Diane could say that she walked on a glacier and then we visited our friend Annika and got to taste all the delicious cakes and cookies she presented.  Thank you Annika!
