Iceland South and East

We headed east, passing through the coastal lowlands.  We saw glaciers,

falls (this picture is from the river behind the Skogafoss),

and black sand beaches.

Along the way, we spent a night in a hotel in Vik because I was too tired to deal with the camper.  We camped the following night in Hofn. We heard later that a hotel was a really good idea for that first night – the campground at Vik was having problems handling the number of tourists and ran out of hot water.

That is a recurring theme here.  Iceland has received an incredible boost in tourism over the last few years.  In many ways, they are still struggling to catch up in some areas.  The main road is very good.  The side roads can be a bit rough even though some have significant traffic.
