Miles: 58.72
Something neat about being in Iceland during the summer is that the days are Eternal. I've discussed this at length already. But a side effect of that is that it feels like our trip here has also been Eternal. In a good way, though. We've been in Iceland for two weeks now- biking for a week and a half. Yet it feels like months. So that makes life exciting.
We were able to meet back up with Lisa in Akureyri so that's been fun. Today's ride was great!

| Holly made us a great breakfast of pancakes this morning. Look at her intensity. The mix we found here in Iceland wasn't the best but we made up for it by squeezing lemon juice (as shown in the pic above) and sugar + jam. |
 |
| I like how detailed their signs are. Good thing the speed limit is only 90km/hour so you can actually read them as you drive past. |
 |
| Lisa took this pic of us. |
 |
| We're riding in this scenic valley and these mountains tower above us on each side. |
 |
| Finally at the summit an we get to enjoy 10+ miles of downhill! |
 |
| It's rare to see a forest (or any trees) here in Iceland. I don't know why it's so hard to plant a bunch of trees. Apparently, Virginia and a few other areas were devoid of trees a couple hundred years ago and now they're thriving forests. |
 |
| If you're a fan of the Thor movies then you'll recognize this place. |
 |
| Look at this neat church. |
 |
| I like how the mother horses get together with their young and they all have play dates. It's like we copied the horses. |
 |
| Construction time. They're paving the road. |
 |
| Now we're staying at one of our best campsites yet. Full amenities. Holly is making a delicious din dins for us. |
 |
| Found these two candy bars that resemble each of us. |
