Day 13
- Second to last blog for this Iceland trip *crowd goes “Awwwww”*
- Today we had a lie in as we had no intentions on doing any expeditions of the grand variety for that day. I love that the French say “faire la grasse matinee” for “to lie in” which literally translates to “"to do the fat morning". Such a beautiful language.
- Despite having what the British would describe politely as “torrential rain” pouring down onto us, we did venture out of the house before lunch to walk to the nearby farm/campsite that was a couple of kilometers down the road to us called “Ulfljotsvatn”. There was a Scout camp and a quaint little church perched on the coast of the little lake that goes by the same name of Ulfljotsvatn.
- I stayed in the house after lunch whilst everyone else went shopping. I did want is known as a “coffee nap”, the idea being that you have a mug of coffee; have a twenty minute nap (in which time you have absorbed the caffeine); and you wake feeling more refreshed. Okay, I didn’t sleep, so I compensated by getting up and having another coffee.
- The remaining time of the day was, and has been, spent packing and being ready to fall out of bed, into a car then into an aeroplane. Even as I write this now, it is still raining. But it is a refreshing transition from holiday and to getting back home.
- Up at 3:00 so relaxing with a cup of tea and some reading before bed. Good stuff.
