Oh, what a difference sunshine makes. I had a big climb to get out of Vik this morning, but it felt good to be on my bike again, and the blue skies made the climb enjoyable.
It was mostly nondescript farmland I passed through today, and after I left the mountains behind me, it looked pretty much the same as riding at home.
But before I left the mountains, I had this interesting beast pop up in front of me. I swear it's a dragon lying down, but I can't find a reference to this mountain ridge anywhere. This is a dragon, it's not just me, right?
I finished my 95km at a campground in Hella. Just a big open field that might as well be a parking lot. I picked an isolated spot but for some reason everyone decided they wanted to set up right next to me. So much for privacy.
I'm at an awkward point in my trip because I could easily roll into Reykjavik tomorrow and be finished with my tour. Unfortunately I don't have accommodations in Reyljavik until Tuesday, so I have to stretch this a few more days.
The plan is to ride into Selfoss tomorrow, take Monday off, ride into Reykjavik on Tuesday and enjoy the rest of the week at hostels I already booked. Three days and two rides left to go!
