We had an early lunch at the cafe in Vik. Just soup and bread and heavenly rhubarb cake for dessert. It had a cream filling and was topped with meringue and swirls of raspberry sauce. Oh, my !
Then we hiked up Reynisfjall Mountain -- 340 m. The view from the top was spectacular. The US Navy built a long range navigation facility there in WWII.
J walked along the unusual black beach while G and I recovered from the hike. Then we went to Reynisfjara to see the basalt columns and the sea cave. Remarkable formations!
G fixed us a delicious supper of salmon from the grocery store. We all agreed it was the best salmon we'd ever had--and much cheaper than the restaurants here. Our vegetarian diet is on hold. We have to cut the vegetables and fruit some slack. We're on an island in the Arctic, remember?
Here's a picture of the basalt formations.
