Lydia was not thrilled with the biting cold of the Icelandic summer, but we had the perfect cure - a two hour soak in natural geothermal springs.

Afterwards we drove past the beautiful waterfall of Seljandsfoss, which we could walk behind to see the thundering water shield us from the green fields. We also saw Skogarfoss, the largest waterfall in Europe. Past Vik we had a magnificent dinner in Kirkjubaejarklaustur (all place names in Iceland are literal translations, Kirkjubaejarklaustur literally means "church-farm-cloister"), with perfect pizza. We then retired after a very long day of driving, the sun still up lighting up the green pastures, well after midnight.
