Iceland: Day 8

After a week of hard touring, I decided to take a less ambitious day and see some of the sights around the south of Iceland.

One of the most famous sights is at Vik, where there is a black sand beach, cliffs, and rocks standing in the water.

Just around the other side from Vik, is the famous rock with the hole in it.

Out on the rock, it was so windy that all the birds were just hovering rather than flying. They were doing this just a few feet from me, so that provided some entertainment trying to get pictures of the birds.

There were also some nice museums as Skogar and Eyrarbakki where old houses are located.

And, of course, there were waterfalls.

In spite of seeing a lot of things, today was actually an easier day. There was no rushing, just taking my time and going from place to place and stopping to see what I came across.
