This is downtown Reykjavik on Thursday afternoon the day we arrived. This is at the intersection of Laugavegur and Skolavoroustigur.

Here we have some weapons that were recovered from the Viking age. This is in the National Museum of Iceland.

Playing football is a big deal in Iceland. This field is right next to the campground in Reykjavik. For some reason I had my camera on the wrong setting and it took three exposures, but it turned okay.

I walked by this group of people under this tarp. It was a cold windy rainy day and I thought it was kind of neat how they have it set up. So I asked if I could take their photo and they all turned and smiled.

A 4 x 4 Icelandic style!

This is the largest swimming pool in Iceland. They have them all over the place, all geothermal. The campground is right next to this pool in Reykjavik.

This is the contact station in the campground in Reykjavik, in the morning of our second day.

From inside the youth hostel also next to the campground in Reykjavik.

Even though it was cold, windy,rainy conditions there were still dozens and dozens of tents set up in the campground in Reykjavik.

Also near the campground in Reykjavik is a beautiful botanical garden with hiking trails all over.

Iceland has a lot of waterfalls coming from the snowmelt from ice caps and glaciers. This is Seljalandsfoss.

A map of the south coast of Iceland. Heidi and I hiked up in between these two ice caps for a one night backpacking trip. National Geographic rates this hiking trail as one of the 20 best in the world. From Landmanmalaugar to Skogar.

Just down stream from Seljalandsfoss.

This was taken just before striking out on a one night backpacking trip. The waterfall is Skogafoss. The trail follows this river. We hiked 12.6 km up with an elevation change of 910 m. It was one waterfall after another. We eventually found the Baldvinsskali hut to stay in. Three Irish guys showed up also. The temperature was in the 40s with a strong wind and intermittent rain, it would've been a tough night in the tents.
