Apparently, I forgot what it's like to sleep in dormitories, or maybe it was just because I was just so exhausted from the day before; I couldn't really sleep well. However, after a short walk we had breakfast at the hostel and continued to visit Reykjavík. We had a look at the steel-sculpture near the sea, the nice church, also from above onto the city. We also started something which I hope will be repeated everyday here in Iceland: going to the swimming pools, enjoying the hot geothermal water.
Around 3 pm, we left the big city and headed north, having first glimpses of the real icelandic landscape. Instead of the tunnel towards Borganes we decided to take the bypass via the fjord (90km/1,5h) to see landscape and Gylmurfoss, the largest waterfall of the country, 198m high. But we could not get there as the bridge appeared to be demolished. Not this time then.
The weather began to change, it became colder, 4 centigrades - still warmer than in Austria, and it began to snow and rain for a bit, again no good luck for Aurora Borealis.
Youth hostel in Borganes, in a comfy three bed room.
