It was another cool and dreary day, but I'm not spending it on the road. I took the day off to give my body a break, and also kill some time before getting back to Reykjavik. I spent the day walking around Vik, taking in the black sand beach and interesting rock formations.
My priority was walking around as much as possible. My knee had been okay while cycling, but still felt unstable walking around, so I wanted to give it some exercise that worked the stabilizers to see how it held up. So far so good.
Before this trip began, a work colleague let me know that she had family doing the same trip as me, separated by a few days. I compared notes with them before my trip and didn't give it a second thought until a stranger walked up to me at the camp's kitchen building today.
Kathy and Ethan had catastrophic equipment failure early on in their bike tour, but rather than pack it in, they continued thier journey with their bikes in tow, taking advantage of Iceland's excellent bus service. By sheer coincidence, we ran into each other at this camp today.
I have nothing planned for the rest of the day except rest. Tomorrow is about 95km of riding to get to Hella. Let's hope for good weather.
