Day 2 of the road trip (part 2)

After the ice cave we went across to Diamond beach.

This is Rachel looking at the incoming wave and telling me it's OK because he boots are waterproof. 
this Rachel realizing her boots aren't as waterproof as she thought. 
This is Rachel with wet feet.
For lunch we stopped at the Viking Cafe. Rachel wore flip flops that were in the car from the blue lagoon spa night while I was in snow pants... quite the pair.😛

Road trip day 1(part 1) horses

Monday 10/21/24 Day 1 of the road trip  Our road trip started out with a 2 hour ride on Icelandic horses. My horse was named Amore (love) and Rachel's was named Sooty. We were a bit concerned since the weather forcast called for rain, but other than a bit of drizzle the rain held off for our plus we wore waterproof clothing. After the ride we were treated to a cup of delicious icelandic hot chocolate.  We rode through a beautiful area with old lava flows. After the horses we hit the road and stopped for lunch a few hours later at Tommi's in Selfoss.  The food was good and they had "guest-book graffiti walls" so of course we added to it.

Day 2 of the Road Trip (part 1)

Day 2 road trip Last night we stayed at hotel Muli. It was dark when we arrived so we had no idea what an amazing view we would have in the morning. After breakfast at the hotel we headed over to the parking lot where we were meeting our guide for the Ice Cave Tour. While we waited we were able to see the Icebergs that create the diamonds on Diamond Beach, and watch some seals playing in the water. Our ice cave tour involved a ride across rough roads in Snorri's big Ford SuperDuty, and then about a 20 minute hike across a moon-scape of large rocks and uneven terrain to the glacier (and back).  Once we were inside the cave it was really cool, but I definitely got a workout today. Next stop Diamond Beach (see Day 2 - part 2)
