Yesterday afternoon, 120 horses arrived with 20 riders. The horses stayed overnight in our paddock, while the riders took a bus for accommodation. Before that, they had coffee or a beer in our pub. Magnus sang a few songs and the Icelanders sang along in chorus. It was really nice. Some non-Icelanders then attacked our t-shirts and bought some as souvenirs. T-shirts are also popular as souvenirs here. They were supposed to leave around 11 am this morning - but they are Icelanders after all... They arrived at 12 and then started sorting the horses back to the riders. It's not easy to find a specific horse from a herd... But somehow, everyone ended up with a horse and didn't look unhappy. They were gone around 1 pm and left us to tidy up, which Magnus didn't like very much.... I'm curious - apparently, the group is supposed to show up again on Thursday....
