Was going to take the ferry across but was there early so decided to ride around which took the same amount of time and was the right choice. Still have not seen any trees on the island bit everything is so green all the way to the top of the mountains. Had quite a few long stretches of dirt road which was a nice change. Am in bad need of a rear tyre and am heading to Reykjavik tomorrow to get one, should have done it in Sweden but didn't realize it was that worn, rookie mistake.
No idea of the story behind this but someone had a dream lof rebuilding it I guess.
The wind blew all day but the the last hour I have never experienced such strong winds, was a fight not to be blown off the road. This region is a lot more mountainous and scenic and there are rivers and waterfall wherever you look.
Arrived at the first campsite that was recommended but was awful so left there and went over the mountain, from where I had come and it is a decent camp with a kitchen etc. And they all cost around $14. Then the rain started, just after I pitched my tent and it has not stopped for hours now and the floor of the tent has some water cause the ground is puddling up. Will be a wet night and rain is forecast for all of tomorrow, after seven days with no real rain, I have been fortunate.
