There was a lot of rain at night, so far our tent is holding up nicely, so we slept until after nine. Got us a map of local hikes (shittiest map ever btw, looks like it was hand-painted by a local schoolchild, with no regard for topography or scale), and decided to walk up to Ljótipollur – a small lake in a red volcanic crater. The walk was really nice, we spiced it up by walking over a couple of ridges. When we got back, we made some hot chocolate and got us a little book for the Laugavegur trek ahead of us for the next few days.

I went to the local hot springs afterwards, which Iest didn’t feel like as it was a bit cold (I would say that would be the reason to actually got to hot springs, but what do I know). We both took a nice hot shower and had a dinner and just headed to bed as indeed it was a bit chilly.
