Saturday we went tenting by the lake, Fjallavatn. Since the weather around here is very unpredictable, we were keen on all most anything, but we were hoping for no rain and not too much wind.
We didn't really know the place that we were tenting, so we couldn't really find shelter. The area around the lake was very wet, so we couldn't set up there. But we found a quite good spot.
We brought two disposable barbecues with us, so supper was burgers and sausages, yummy.
Later we decided we wanted to walk around the lake, or maybe just see what we at the far end of the lake. What we thought was going to be a medium long walk, became a loooooong walk with winds against our head and rain pouring in the end. But we made it :) We didn't walk around the lake, but all the way to the far end, so that we could see the ocean.
And coming back from the walk the weather really changed or maybe just got worse. We were able to sleep in the end, but not for long. A few times I seriously thought the tent was going to break and crash on us. But luckily it didn't. I got a few hours of sleep, even the the wind was minimizing our sleeping area.
When I finally got out of my sleeping bag, I was still very tired, and feeling like a horrible mess.
But the trip was a lot of fun.
We were singing: "Or-e-oooo, ore-o, oreo, or-e-ooo, ore-o, oreo, oreo, ore--, ore, ore---o!
Nice blog and photographs.
