I HAD the great pleasure to wake up this morning in the beautiful city of Reykjavík, Iceland. I was so glad to be back and so amazed by the morning's sunshine shimmering through the blinds that I was up out of bed, at 6.30am, to take photos of the houses surrounding the Reykjavík City Youth Hostel. Talk about jetlag -- and the effects of the Midnight Sun! -- I just didn't know what time it was, although I got to hear some alarms going off in people's bedrooms, and the sight of the occasional bleary-eyed Icelander taking their garbage out in their pyjamas, should have alerted me to how early it really was. After walking around for a bit I went back to bed, and woke up at like 10am -- and was surprised to see it was still sunny outside. In fact, it seemed to be getting sunnier and sunnier, which was cool, because I was worried it was going to rain for the whole of this, my second Icelandic holiday. But the gods were behind me again (I have always such good luck in Iceland!)Reykjavik, a corrugated iron paradise!And a Heaven for multicolored rooves.
The endless green vistas and rocky highlights and white houses of Iceland in the summertime
Wer noch Zeit und Muße hat, kann zurück im Haupttal noch ein Stück Richtung Westen weitergehen (ca. 250 m), nach dem Queren des Baches aus der Stakkholtsgjá geht es links einen kleinen Rücken hinauf. Von dort hat man einen Blick auf die Gletscherzunge Steinsholtsjökull und einen kleinen Gletschersee. Dieser war allerdings '01 ausgetrocknet.
