As tired as we were Sunday night, we headed on to the Skógafoss waterfall just 30 minutes to the east of Mr Iceland's farm. I stayed at the bottom, but Laurie climbed the steps up to an observation platform above Skógafoss, (over 500 steps) and you can just see her red jacket in the photo above.
This is a huge water fall in the cliffs along the Skóga River; the Skógafoss is one of the biggest waterfalls in the country, with a width of 82 feet and a drop of 200 feet. By time we arrived we had missed the sunshine on the flow, but even without rainbows you could feel the power of the falling water.
We spent that night in Skeiðflötur and thought it would be fun to try spending the night in a tent in a sheep pasture overlooking the sea, so we booked this "Glamping" experience.
We slept in a tent on a wooden platform. Our beds were heated and the tent was very clean. The only problem was the distance to the bath house, but at least it never got dark for the convenience of the trips.
The view was amazing and we did hear some sheep voices in the night.
This was a unique experience, and the showers were clean with great hot water for relaxing from our full day. They provided a hostel type kitchen and lounge that were also very nice. This was a something new and different for us, and our adventure continues tomorrow on a black sand beach.
