Hotel: Hotel Stracta, Hella
We rose later today, checking out our green-roof units after breakfast. We didn’t have much on our itinerary. We stopped to look at the moss covered lava fields, the we continued to Vik for a hot tea. Next we drove out to the Dyrholaey peninsula opposite the black sand beach that mesmerized us a few days ago. The wind was brutal. We leaned into it, trudging out to see the views with cold hands and faces. carefully taking turns opening no more than one car door at a time. We’ve been so fortunate with the weather; we would not have enjoyed a week of this.
We continued to Skogar which had far less wind. After lunch we walked to two waterfalls: the semi-hidden Kvernufoss, then the huge Skogarfoss.
Soon we were back in Hella, this time at the very large Hotel Stracta. It’s not nearly as charming as the nearby Aurora Igloos, but they were fully booked. We had a soak in the outdoor hot tubs, then relaxed before dinner. The sun came out, and some blue sky showed, so maybe we will see the aurora tonight.
