Description

We sat planning our route in the warmth of the campsite kitchen/dining room at Kirkjubaelarklauster (more easily known as Klausturs), whilst outside it rained (campsite highly recommended). The next day we would leave Route 1 and head inland to Laki, the site of volcanic eruptions back in 1783 that lasted over ten months. As it transpired most of the kitchens’ other occupants also had their sights set on Laki for the next day. There were five Dutch who were to take the tourist bus, a French family who would drive their old 2WD ford transit (the Lonely planet book states don't think of it in a 2WD!), finally, there was us, two crazy cyclists
