Day 6 – Southwest

That morning after breakfast we went to the Diamond Beach first. If the sun comes out and the ice on the black beach starts to sparkle you know exactly where the name is coming from. Then we went back over to Jokulsarlon lagoon where we had been on day 5 already but ‚today‘ the lake was reflecting everything so it was another of these perfect moments where you should just stand there, breathe and enjoy. Then we went over to my favorite place in Iceland: Fjallsarlom glacier lagoon. We went to a different spot than where I had been last year but again it was breathtaking. After that we had lunch and then we went to Skaftafell National Park where the rest of the tour group had booked a walk on a glacier. I went in search of a geocache instead. Unfortunately the guide of the glacier-walkers was an idiot and he messed up the entire rest of our trip. Because when the group went into the bus to return to the place where I was waiting, their tour guide went into a car to come over separately but he didn’t tell anyone. So their bus waited for nearly one hour for the missing guide who was already back at base. For us that meant we had lost one hour and had to drive back to Reykjavik without any more sightseeing stops…
