Yoda’s cave

We were up around 2am. By 8am local time (which is GMT) we were on the ground in my favourite place in the world - trip number five for me - and soon trundling around the Ring Road in our Dacia Duster ( NOT the requested automatic so I’m leaving the driving to John - my right arm refuses to cooperate with the gears….)

The weather is stunning. We stopped at a few places en route to the wonderfully named Hnappavellir - it’s a long old way, I’ve not been further round than Vik previously and it was jaw-droppingly beautiful. I am far too tired to faff with the big camera tonight so here’s an iPhone shot at Yoda’s Cave - John was desperate to see it and already says it’s the highlight of the trip.

Glacial lagoon and diamond beach tomorrow - that’s why we came all this way east. But first, food, some scarily expensive wine and lots of sleep…..
