Note
Long driving day, from Skaftafell to Hellnar. Again, we stopped at many roadside attractions and took several walks. I got plenty of map reading practice today. The topo/street map we bought was excellent. After a while, you could begin to notice different types of lava fields, and see them a long ways away. It was also fun to check off the individual farms. Yes, each and every farm in Iceland is on the map. When you pass a road sign, it is not naming the road, it is naming the family that lives there. My favorite was when we passed through a small area with 5 signs that said Johanson I, Johanson II, Johanson III, Johanson IV and Johanson V.
