September 15, Snaefellsnes

A huge trip awaited us today! We set off to drive around the Snaefellsnes peninsula. This part of Iceland is also called "Islande en miniature" because its diverse landscapes show all the characteristics of Iceland. The first photo shows Vani on her paparazzi hunt. She is fanatic about sheep and always tries to get some good photos of them.
The Snaefellsjökull is one of the most famous in Iceland. It has been the inspiration for Jules Verne's "Journey to the Centre of the Earth".

Before the village of Arnarstrapi we found an amazing lava field with a lot of berries :o)




At another beach we found 4 ancient stones. In the early days the sailors competed and tested their muscles. Vani and me only managed to lift the smallest stone. Maja managed to lift the second one!
