Island Tag 11: gray and green and bike racing

The stage today is quite short, only a good 3 hours drive, more than half on unpaved but very patchy gravel roads. You can only drive 80 there. It's not necessary to understand why the accommodations are so different in distance from each other.

We are already in Vogur at noon, a pretty chic agriturismo (country lodge) in the middle of nothing but lava fields, bird cliffs, mudflats, and surroundings. We take a walk to the waterfall behind the house, then we can check into our room. Susanne sleeps most of the afternoon, unfortunately, she caught a cold and is accordingly weak. I am happy that I finally have time to read, the afternoon goes by in no time.

By chance, our accommodation tonight is also a hostel for the participants of a five-day gravel bike race of almost 1000 km, namely https://cyclingwestfjords.com/, cyclists arrive there with considerable time differences.
