Day 5 – our bus climbs like a mountain goat

Today we travelled over “vast glacial outwash plains ( says the tour itinerary) and first visited another spectacular waterfall called Skogafoss – just look at the cute rainbow !!!

 

Since the weather was so nice we all agreed to give the folk museum a miss (hurrah!) and set off for this really high piece of headland. I’m still not sure how a mini-bus could get up such a steep track. Then we were at the top of these cliffs where the idea was to peer over the edge looking for puffins and not tumbling to certain death.  Hmmmm – puffins – nice birds but then we live only forty minutes south of the Farne Islands in Northumberland where there are thousands of them so decided to play safe.

Next it was off to the Myrdalsjokull glacier up this long rough winding track. One of our party had opted for a skidoo ride so we ate our lunch and took a hike further up the hillside
