Day 4 - Hofn to Egilsstadir, Iceland


Continuing east along the Ring Road, we had a short drive ahead of us, only 186km but once again, it took us hours to complete. We stopped a few times but it took so long because this part of the Ring Road winds around the coast. This makes the drive fun, but it is also a little exhausting being on high alert. To top it off, the roads here have NO shoulder, so there is little (no) room for error. And if you make that mistake there is often a good ditch (or worse) you will encounter. So if you see oncoming traffic (in good or bad weather), it is best to slow down a bit.

In the end, it was a good thing that we had a plan of where to stop driving for the day because although fun, it was a little exhausting. But with all things that require a little extra effort, we were rewarded with more stunning views. Some of the most awe-inspiring which is impossible to capture on camera, it is also feeling.
