Saudarkrokur (10)

Parked by the side of the road is our trusty steed, an all-wheel-drive Suzuki Jimmy. Later in our trip, I would lose a bit over the Suzuki, but I digress. Nancy is long-suffering of my desire to take pictures. She sat in the car while I braved the cold to take the two pictures below of the high pass area we were crossing.

Saudarkrokur: We found our hotel and found that it is the oldest hotel still operating in Iceland. The Hotel Tindastoll was built in Norway in 1820, disassembled, shipped here, and reassembled in 1884.
