When our travels reach the breaking point and the second half starts time begins to fly. Today we are making one of our last longer drives from place to place. We are leaving Akureyri for a little farm near Varmahlíd called Sydra - Skordugil. On our way we stopped at several places which geocaching pointed us at and we didn't regret. They were mostly off the beaten track spots which would stay hidden from us if traveling just by the guidebook. It was waterfalls again, wonderful views of the valley we were driving through, little forests and much more. After we got accommodated by the farmers we set off for the second part of our travels and hikes - to Saudarkrogur. There we had wonderful views of the Arctic Ocean, the fjord and Saudarkrogur and solved a mystery cache at the local cemetery, later we went down to the harbour and searched for a cache not many people could find among hanging dry fish being air and sun dried for export to Nigeria. Poor fish...
How many waterfalls can you see?

An excellent day for photos.
ReplyDeleteThank you Viki, we were lucky to have some sunny days in Iceland.
DeleteGeocaching sounds like an amazing way to see an unknown place, well not unknown to the locals and that's the whole point. I need to try it sometime soon.
ReplyDeleteDo try it, gamified nature, walk, trek, or a town visit is worth trying ... and our first hidden cache is called By the Way :-) (Petr's idea).
