They warn you in all the books that, although the main route round Iceland is mostly paved and in good condition, some of the other roads are no more than gravel tracks. The 2 hour journey from our hotel to our next stop, Hveragerdi, is over a bumpy track on which some vehicle with caterpillar tracks has been travelling recently. So the gravel is bad enough but the regularity of the bumps is bone-shatteringly awful. Plus it’s miserable weather: misty, rainy, cold and with such poor visibility that we can’t even ooh and aah at the scenery which I’m sure is spectacular!

I have always wanted to go here! I'm not sure I would be good on a horse, I'd probably fall off! Linking from the Time Traveller Linky ๐
Fantastic memory Trish. I'm not keen on horse riding although we did promise the girls last summer so we did but luckily our trek wasn't in the rain on cantering horses! I would have died. Oh and do share the tangoed Trish too ๐
Thank you for linking up with time Traveller, I've really enjoyed this step back in time.
This sounds incredible, grumpiness or no. Personally I love horseriding – and I'm sure it would be a splendid experience in Iceland – but I could live without those fetching orange suits….
