7th to 8th August 2003
The final leg of our trip took us from Selfoss to Njaršvik - the hostel nearest the airport - and to the Blue Lagoon. On the way to Njaršvik we headed around the southern side of the Reykjanes peninsular to see if we could find some puffins. This took us towards a place named Grindavik, along what must be some of the worst dirt tracks in the world. We didn't get as far as the puffins, the road became nothing more than a muddy ditch and it had started to rain, so we chickened out on that front, but we saw some more interesting landscapes.
