Icelandic horse farm

We waited till the rain finally stopped at 8.30am to get up. After breakfast, packed a soaking wet tent again! Went for a look at Holar village, which has a small university, for agriculture and horse studies. Such a lovely place to study. There was a very old church, there was a monastery there since 1250 I think, and still the church is a cathedral.
We had a quick look around the Icelandic horse history museum, cute, but golly those wee horses used to have to work extremely hard before tractors and quad bikes. We carried on up a 4wd track road into the valley that joins the Heljarsheidi, that we climbed up two days before. There was a large Icelandic horse farm, they have a lovely place to live.
We decided to go inland, to the central highlands, driving on dirt roads, only good enough for a good 4wd vehicles. We headed to Hveravellir, on the edge of a glacier, on a plateau which had natural hot sulfur springs. Unfortunately it was blowing a gale and didn’t stop raining.
