Today's cool thing was a glacier hike. You know, hiking on a glacier. A fucking glacier. Strapped crampons onto our feet, helmets on our heads, and walked up onto hundreds of meters of solid ice as it was melting. We walked down into a cave eroded into existence by melt water. Everything was made of ice. The walls like wet blue glass sparkling with starry air pockets. Ice for miles.
I don't have any pictures of that yet, because they were taken on Vineet's phone.
Nanny nanny boo boo, stick your head in doo doo.
We saw also a beach with black sand and strange rock formations. The sun was setting behind this sort of wall of stone, and the picture really doesn't do it justice. The setting sunlight painted the structures gold, LIKE THE HALLS OF VALHALLA!!!
You really would need multiple exposures combined to see what it looked like.
Anyway, strange rocks:
This is what Vineet looks like when he's not falling to his death:
Mountains in the distance to your right (where the glacier is) and the ocean to your left:

And did I mention yesterday? No? Well that involved energy drinks,

a lake formed in a volcanic crater,

and sometimes climbing to the top of a hill to sit and listen to the creek and look at the horses.

We're at a hostel-like hotel in "Hella" now after having gone to "Vik" for dinner. Cod stew. Tomorrow we drive over towards the airport to stay at the Blue Lagoon, which is a spa. Maybe I'll drop 100 euros on a massage. Then another Airbnb near there and off to the airport Tuesday to return the car, and then we're LONDON BOUND.
You want to see more cats? Me too:

These are the true Icelanders. The humans are kept alive only to act as caretakers in their intergalactic communist utopia.
