A fine sunny day for some light riding.
I appreciate the intention here, but this map is actually really confusing.
I adore any store that sells a carrot cake with four layers.
Once again I'm the only diner in the restaurant. The tourist season ends really abruptly here...
One more bathroom stop before the road...
Local lore on display.
Nice spot to run a local government from.
It's pretty cool seeing all these little kid toy sections in restaurants.
YESSS!! Greens!
Shout-out to Glen, giving his trailer a trial-run on this Iceland tour!
The back of the bike: Table, coat rack, extra hand, clothesline, and occasionally even a work desk.
This could be a clear day or a cloudy day, depending on your perspective.
This side of the rock was constantly getting wet from streams of water and then quickly drying out from the wind, over and over.
Having a good time in the rain!
Hills hiding behind hills.
Just how much mist is an excessive amount? Iceland has no such limit!
A ribbon of road, making this travel possible.
Fjardabyggd:. More than just that thing you shout when you stub your toe: It's also a town!
The aurora, vaulting up behind the clouds. I did not expect to see them this time of year.
Is something wrong with my lens? Nope. It's the northern lights.
Look at all that exploded luggage!

Pretty dang cute. I am amused!
Cute curtains in the barrel house.
Little tiny two-room barrel house! YEAH!!
Another great day for riding!
A nice day on the bay.

What a cute looking calculator!
Don't those buttons look so jolly and candy-like?

Didn't get a chance to pay for your spot? Be a good citizen and leave some cash.
Aha! I think I found the Icelandic version of Pride Rock!
This bay is protected by a long thin arm of land that smooths the waves on the ocean.
So fluffy!
Got a piece of cardboard? Maybe you can slide down!
A cool panorama along a bend in the coastal road.
Grateful for the sudden sunlight.
A column breaking through the clouds.
Awww, don't run over the dude! He's just walkin' here!
Whole lotta symbols in the next town. Not sure what a bunch of them mean...
If you don't dry your frillies on the radiatior, some other camper will come by and do the same.
When you gotta dry your pants...

Hmm something odd about this landscape but I can't quite figure it out...

Pretty shpooky!

The closer I get, the more majestic it becomes!
An Icelandic mining operation.
Do I look ready for my first tunnel of this tour?
I'm definitely an old nerd, because when I see this sign, I think of a video game console.
This one is nice and modern.
Okay well there's a little wear and tear, but still pretty modern lookin'.
Enjoying tunnel!
Out of the tunnel, into the fresh air again.
I think this sign is saying something about city versus country speed limits, but it's way too complicated.
Tired of traveling? Take a rest, in the big red random chair.
Hay wrapped up for later chomping. Gotta have that when the weather gets as bad as it does in Iceland.
The car, where it landed.
The first impact dug up a big chunk of turf and flung it to one side.
The rear wheels came down in the same place just after the front ones bounced up.
Pretty cute spot!
Another fine camping spot.
