Iceland - July 4, 2013

Today was the long day of driving - 418 km in total.  I went from Skaftafell all the way west to the Glymur Resort north of Akranes along the west coast of Iceland.  Along the way, I stopped at the visitor center for the Eyjafjallajokull volcano eruption from 2010 that had disrupted all of Europe's air travel.  A family owns a farm at the base of the volcano and set up a visitor center to show a film about the volcano erupting, their evacuation and eventual return and restoration.  It was fascinating and very entrepreneurial of them.  Further on, I drove through Pingvellir National Park on my way to the west coast.  Glymur Resort was the nicest of the properties I stayed at so I relaxed and enjoyed my evening there.
