I woke at 3.30am and couldn't get back to sleep. Argh!
Today we took the kids on a horseback riding adventure. We booked all 8 of us to go but 3 decided to bail and shop in Reykjavik instead. The five of us drove the 5 minutes (our shortest commute so far!) to the trail center. We wore our warmest and waterproofiest stuff, and they gave us an outer waterproof shell and a helmet.
It was cold and rainy. Very. The kids had a great time on the walk. Our guide was great, and peppered the ride with stories about horses and trolls. It was cold and rainy.
After we finished the ride and left the stables, we stopped for a quick bite and then left the Golden Circle region. We stopped in Reykjavik for a quick sweater purchase, then to Borgarnes for groceries, and then on to Snæfellsjökull National Park, where our next AirBNB waited for us. The drive was sparsely populated and rugged. The fog was thick. The rain was intermittent.
The new house is lovely. It's an old converted barn with a commercial kitchen and eight separate rooms. More than we need, but it's lovely. We got in late and had to get straight to dinner, so I don't have many photos, but I snapped this as the sun was setting.
After dinner, I grabbed a quick hot tub soak, washed the horse stank off of me, and then drooped off to bed.
