This is one of a few "rest spots" that generations of Icelanders have used while bringing their sheep home after pasturing in the highlands for the summer. This picture doesn't show it very well, but there are waterfalls along the entire length of the cliff that spill out into the river below. This is also the most vegetation I saw all weekend!
One last picture of the Laugerfall Hot Spring hut where we spent Friday and Saturday night.
And what weekend trip wouldn't be complete without sheep!

Hi Natasha and sorry I haven't gotten back to you sooner!
You left a comment on my blog regarding lamb meat, or lambakjöt (kjöt=meat)...you've probably found out by now that the saltkjöt you bought is salted to preserve it, and that it is soaked in water to desalinate it before cooking. What one needs to buy is a lambalæri, or leg of lamb, which can be nicely cooked at 180°for half an hour per kilo (plus an extra half an hour or so for good measure.) It's expensive, but super good!
By the way, looks like you're having great adventures!!!

Everything looks so, hmmm, calm? Not populated maybe... Serene even? I sense you are doing well no?
