The wind and the loud party by the front of the campground have died down but our tent is so brightly lit that I probably won’t be getting any sleep soon. Day four in Iceland but day one in our tent. The plan is to camp at least enough nights to justify logging all our equipment on the plane.

Weather in Iceland is the triangulation of three elements; temperature, sun and wind. For our first full day it was high sun, medium temperature and low wind. That is an amazing day in Iceland. You don’t get many days like that here. If most days were like that there would be a million plus people living on the island.

Today was not that bad weather wise (although the wind has just started to pick up and the tent walls keep folding into my head). And it felt good to have one last meal at IKEA before hitting the road for places likely wetter and colder than the city. We can use a good fire (they don’t do that in Europe) but it still feels good now and then to sleep on the ground.
