VIC TO KIRKJUBEÆJARKLAUSTUR DAY 94 133km.

Once again my tent was wet inside and a bit of my sleeping bag but forged on after breakfast to Black Beach that apparently has unexpected huge waves that take people by surprise. Everyone is so busy taking f#%@ng selfies and not enjoying the scenery around them .

Wind is still howling as I proceeded 15km up the mountain on the wet dirt road and magnificent scenery hidden by the low clouds to Ðakil camp. It sits in a beautiful flat spot surrounded by mountains but with all the rain the ground was puddled so went back down and continued on the main road. 

 The five vehicles in front of me all turned off ,so I followed them thankfully to a spectacular river canyon which I wasn't going to slep up but went and was rewarded with some stunning landscape. 



  Found a good campsite another 10km up the main road in Kirkjubæjarklaustur and arrived early for once  and was able to do some washing and shower. Walked down to the store and got some 2.5 % alcohol beer and then sat in the kitchen area to stay warm and out of the wind and rain.
