Road Trip 6: Heydalur, West Fjords to Reykjavík

We left for Reykjavík on Saturday, completely worn out! We followed the pink stretch of road as marked on the map in the first post of the trip. The day was relatively uneventful - clear roads and pretty solid plans. We stopped in Heydalur to soak in the natural hot tub there, which was fun. There was sand on the bottom, and even algae! There were horses milling about, adding to the serenity of the location. It was near a hotel of sorts, so there were a few people around, though there were more dogs than people!
