Day 23 - Day off

After a short ride yesterday and a nice shower, I'm relatively pain-free today. Even my knee didn't wake me up last night as it usually has over the past two weeks whenever I toss and and turn.

I didn't find any nearby hiking trails but I did do a 10km walk along the Ölfusá River. While my knee has been okay cycling, I've had a noticeable limp when walking since initially hurting it in Mývatn. Today I seem to be moving around fine, and 10km didn't aggravate anything.




Got a couple of pics of arctic terns without them attacking me

It's beautiful weather today, which can only mean I'll get hit with wind and rain for my final ride tomorrow, but I'm up for it. On top of potentially bad weather, I'll have one more big climb with a 400m ascent over 10km. I've had similar climbs on this trip with vastly different experiences between them. I'll prepare for the worst and hope for the best. 

My preparation involves loading up on Viking beer tonight so I'll be nice and hungover tomorrow.


Day two and I still have my isolated campsite to myself!
