Iceland Day 4 - Thursday, March 13

We are waiting for our guide for ice caving to contact us but he seems quite slow in responding to emails. Torsteinn, the owner of our guesthouse shared that the caves are likely to be flooded due to the rain the day before. Afternoon may be possible. 

So while waiting for news, we decided to have a short road trip first. But before that we had to have some fun with Hackla, the resident sheep dog. All the sheep are indoors, so she's free to play around with us.

We are driving to the east towards Hofn, a fishing town. It's somewhat a capital for the area. Hope to find some activities there. 

On the way there, we made a detour and drove towards a glacier, Fláajökull. Our first photo with a glacier.

Hofn, was a nice place. We could see a few glaciers across the lagoon from the port area. 

But it seems that most of the places of interest here are catered for the summer crowd. We kindda came here for lobsters cos it's in abundance here. It took a while for us to find one that's open  in this season. 

It's not cheap, in fact, it's really expensive. We are on a holiday budget, not budget holiday. So yeah..

After lunch was a long drive to the west. We received no news for ice caving and so it's off to another sight here in Iceland. Jökulsárlón, is a huge glacier lagoon.

It's a good place to see the icebergs, which broke off from the glacier, Breiõamerkurjöll.

We tried to look out for the lights again but the sky just didn't look optimistic.
