If you want to feel strong wind you should go that part of
iceland. We got up at about 10 and left a few ours later the hut. We biked
down the pass, well, biked down is not exact. Normally if you go down a hill
with a bike you don't have to pedal. That is not so in iceland. The wind was
so strong that we had to push the pedals to move.
After 2 hours we arrived in Varmahildt. That is a small village with a roadhouse.
We went into the roadhouse. As soon as we looked on the bill of fare we weren't
hungry anymore. Iceland is damn expansive. We decided to wait a few minutes,
got a small bowl of chips (they were not so expansive) and sat next to elder
people. This people took part at an organized trip with a bus. They had a
menu. Some of them didn't like the food or ate on half of the plate, that
was our luck. We grabed there plates and ate the rest. I felt a little bit
bad but on the other side the food would have been thrown into the rubbish
bin.
After this stop we jumped on our bikes and wanted to bike
but the wind was so strong now that we couldn't even bike down (a few days
later we met some guys who told us that wind strength was about 15). Just
after Varamahildt we left the main road and started to cross iceland (have
a look on the map below). We crossed the bridge above and decided to put our
tents up next to it, so we slept UNDER THE BRIDGE.
