after getting up on day 02 we drove to a shop to get some things we would need like food, some plastic dishes and cups, and other stuff that might turn out useful on our trip. then we found a lovely place[001-030] near the sea where we had breakfast. there was pretty strong wind and a lot of seagulls[024-030]. they found a place of endless food it seems, since there was a spot where the sewage was pumped right into the sea. stinky, but the gulls liked it. then we headed towards snæfellsnes. on our way there we passed a small church with a cemetery[032-038], stopped at a beach[058-078], had a strange encounter with psycho-horses (some were staring all the time, some were trying to chew our windscreen wiper jet washer, while others were sneaking around at the back of our car - no idea what they did there. so we tried to break free when we were surrounded by the horses. bad thing was, this street was a dead-end street. so we had to pass them by once more. another strange thing we encountered was spindrift[102-109] due to the heavy wind. small lakes beside the road spread their spray all over the street. we had a break at another beach[113-144] again. i had troubles opening the door of the car since the wind was so heavy. again a lot of spray on the sea, resulting in lovely rainbows on top of the waves[120,124-126,129]. we saw a lovely waterfall from the street so we left the main and took a gravel road to get as close to it as possible. at the end of the road we found old vehicles[151-155] like a volvo and a digger. then we headed on to the waterfall[156-168]. it already got late and the sun set[169-173]. we ended up in grundarfjörður where we got to a hostel. again there was no one at the reception but a phone to call some guy again. we did so and got our keys. unfortunately the doors to the rooms lock once you close them. and of course ninsti and i both ended up being outside of our room with the key inside the room while we were cooking dinner. so we had to call the guy again with a "those stupid tourists"-look on his face. surprising wonderful thing we saw that night: northern lights - yippieh! i was chasing them on my sweden trip and it took ages until i first saw them and here it already happens on the second day. so wonderful.
