Special day

March 15th was my 60th Birthday. The start of the next stage in the journey...

We were planning to go to the 'Iceberg Lagoon' and were really looking forward to it but the further East we drove, the more it snowed and, discretion being the better part of valour, we retreated to Vik (pronounced veek). Vik has two lovely black beaches, some basalt columns and various interesting rock formations as well as this church. It is fairly typically of Icelandic churches - every town and even hamlet seems to have one of these simple pretty buildings (some are slightly more avant-garde in design).

This is the second back-blip from the trip.
