Today was filled with variety as we made our way around the southeast corner of Iceland. We continued to enjoy the scenery as we drove, but we also stopped for a waterfall hike, a couple of walks on beaches, and a short walk to a glacier.

We didn't have the beautiful weather of yesterday, but we still enjoyed driving the crazy back roads of the West Fjords, visiting Rauðasandur Beach, soaking in our first Icelandic hot spring, and seeing the magnificent Dynjandi waterfall.
We also experienced our first one-lane tunnel and, after driving 244k (about 150 miles), we ended the day in a campground that had its own waterfall. The West Fjords of Iceland are a little too far from Reykjavik for most tourists to spend time there, so we were really looking forward to getting to that remote, beautiful area.
After an iconic photo op on the Snæfellsnes Peninsula, we drove around Breiðafjörður, the body of water separating the peninsula from the West Fjords. The scenery and roads were amazing, and we ended the day camping for free near a white sand beach. Today we drove almost 300k (around 180 miles) and made several stops as we visited popular and not-so-popular spots in West Iceland. It was a day that included hot springs, waterfalls, beaches, seals, and mountain views.
