19/12/2019 - Iceland Day 9

Woke up at 8 and had breakfast at 9 at Guesthouse Carina! Wah their dining hall is bigger than expected! There was a buffet Sierra's and even a waffle making machine! The waffle was really filling though! Hahaha. Ate it with peanut butter and yum!!!

We headed to Vik i Myrdal Church to see the small town from above!

Then we headed to Dryholaey (Kirkjufjara beach) and took many pictures! Then went back to the Reynisfjara beach and there were many people! All taking photo with the scene that was in the game of thrones! Cool! And the waves were called sneakers waves that were deadly! Took many pictures and went to fuel up our car!

Then we went to Solheimajokull glacier and decided to take a short walk up to see the glacier for Abit! Some parts of the roads were quite slippery so we had to be really careful as most of the other people were really all geared up with crampons and sticks! We caught a glimpse of the glacier and continued back to car to eat some chips! And watch some shows LOL cos the wind was hugeeeeeeee and it was slippery LOL.

We continued to the Solheimasandur plane wreck and decided to walk to the wreck, which was about 4km! Wow. We took 50 minutes to reach the wreck! At about 230 right before the bus arrives and we immediately took many many pictures when the bus was arriving as people started to leave! Then we continued to walk slightly further down and watched the sun. Beautiful! Then we continued to take pictures until 330 where the next bus came and the crowd became smaller for a while to take nice undisturbed photos! Then we decided to walk back! The walk was easy initially and the wind started to become stronger and stronger.

To the extent that we couldn't talk and needed to really push our bodies against the wind! Wowwwwww what an experience really!!! Plus we were walking in the snow and some parts were slippery. The winds even blew up the black sand and into our eyes sometimes! This later for about 30-40 minutes and we finally reached our car! We took about 54 minutes back!

Then we went to see Skogafoss which was just nearby our hotel and too many pictures before tour buses started to come in! Phew! Oh our car almost skidded when we were entering the road to our hotel! So scary!!!

Then went back to hotel and had their meat soup (lamb) and wow so cool! It was full of lamb and barley! So interesting and really very full of ingredients! Then went back to rest!
