#05 Arrival in Iceland 3007

E phatlaladitšwe: 03.08.2020

Day of arrival. At 7 o'clock in the morning, a friendly, monotone female voice wakes us up from the loudspeaker. In Danish...or Icelandic. It doesn't matter, we don't understand either, but we are definitely awake now. The arrival in Seydisfjördur is as spectacular as hoped. Iceland immediately shows off its natural muscles. At nine o'clock, we leave the ship full of curiosity. Despite the turbulence, we have enjoyed the journey very much.

We quickly pass through the expected customs checks and start a spectacular car journey, where we discover thick masses of snow from which numerous rivers flow, sheep and horses roam the mountains, and we behold endless expanses with bizarre rock formations.

On a plateau, we are taking a short snack break when a herd of sheep crosses our path with interest. "Hey friends, we have something nice to eat," Julia shouts. Startled, they flee, narrowly avoiding the carrot that flies after them. The ground is flooded with lava stones and small flowers, an unbelievably beautiful sight.

Our first highlight is DETTIFOSS, according to the description the most powerful waterfall in Europe. We believe it when we see it. Julia suspects that you would probably die if you fell in there :-) The splashing water droplets create rainbows in the air.

Julia claims the driver's seat - her "turbulent" driving style terrifies us, but we get used to it. We drive to a campsite somewhere on a dusty track, but we are completely alone there?, we learn that Corona was active again in the meantime and the regulations were increased throughout the country. We also learn that the statement in Iceland that there are only mosquitoes at Lake Myvatn is complete nonsense, within seconds we have the creatures all over us - we make a run for it. At the next site, which is usually just a large field like almost always in Iceland, we stand directly by the sea with unlimited space and enjoy an unforgettable, endless summer sunset.
