Day 15 - 16: Borgarnes to Hjalli Kjós Camp

Miles: 50.35

We've adjusted our plans from time to time based on how sore/tired/sick we were and the prevailing weather. Today (and subsequently tomorrow) we decided to "savor the good things in life" as Kohor famously put it. 

Waking up late is a luxury even in Iceland where we have Eternal Daylight and biking at night isn't a threat. Sometimes leaving later means stronger winds or rains when we could have avoided both had we left earlier. In fact, one of the many cyclists we've met along our path left yesterday at 4AM to beat the headwind. The town we were camping in, Holly found this lunch buffet for us to indulge. Then we took the less-traveled dirt road to our destination, which made for a nice ride and I was able to find a license plate at the request from a buddy of mine. Now we're staying an extra night at one of the best campsites because we are ahead of schedule and I am finally watching Stranger Things so Season 1 will commence while we rest here.

Also, my knee cap has been hurting for a week or so. Hate this.

Usually, when I eat a buffet I fell bloated and nasty afterwards. Not so here. The food was light, non-greasy, no heavy meats or carbs. And I was finally able to eat some fruit and veggies for once! Those are rare here unless you want to go bankrupt purchasing them.

This buffet had a place for the kids to play while you fill your gullet.

Excellent dirt road that you could speed down and not have to worry about pot holes and wrecking.

Love this shot.

Yuzu is a lemony flavor we discovered in Japan that we love. This drink was all good.

Old ruins. Also, I learned that the USA and UK both had fleets here in Iceland during WWII.

Our campsite is nestled over there.

A pack of old VW enthusiasts stayed with us.

Look at these neat old things.

A few of them were having maintenance done on them.

Our humble home for the past two weeks.
