Cold and wet has been yucky. Now that heavy winds have kicked up is downright miserable. As I make my way down towards the south coast jamming out to the A-Ha and Wham on the only staticky station that I can receive, I shiver each time I pass those hearty adventurers cycling in all their rain gear while battling the fierce wind. They are probably camping in this shit as well. I understand this has been one of the coldest summers Iceland has had to put up with in ages. I have also heard from others that the weather is usually crap.
I broke down and purchased a thick wool hat a few days ago. I find it funny that I as reluctant to pay $29.99 in the states buy a light raincoat. I would have had to pay hundreds here.
The elements forced me to subscribe to comfort food. So I am having a pizza and beer for lunch. This is also to help my courage to go hike out onto Iceland’s largest glacier, which I have in view of front my current lunch stop.
I’m kind of in a long stretch in the middle of nowhere and the few accomidations in the area are booked. At least I have a compact car to sleep in tonight. These are the sacrifices you get to take when you don’t pay big $’s for comfort of the everything-included group tours.
Okay - I’m up and away.
