Our last day on the Icelandic Ring Road 🙁
We woke up in our gorgeous, tiny house to a very pretty sunrise so that started the day well. After packing and checking out, we headed into town for a coffee and a wander before hitting the road for a 4h40 drive back to Reykjavik. Not something either of us were looking forward to, but it had to be done.
Surprisingly, it flew by… Not much to really report and it’s surprising just how quickly you become accustomed to waterfalls, enormous snow-capped mountains, massive fjords and dormant volcanoes. We of course took more photos…
The coolest part of the trip was going under a fjord via a 6km tunnel. For 6kms, you’re basically either going down, or going back up. It goes down to 165m below sea level which is quite a depth. It’s also Iceland’s only toll road.
Our apartment tonight is another AirBnb place and it’s really spacious compared to our last few spots.
