We started the day by thanking one of the women from the "Kirkjubæjarklaustur Ladies Society" who very kindly let us into the school. We met them at the information centre as they were having a bake sale to raise money for an up coming trip to Edinburgh.
Við hófum daginn með því að þakka Kirkjubæjarskóla og Karítas frá kvenfélaginu, sem leyfðu okkur að gista og hleyptu okkur inn í skólann.
We stopped in at Kjarval supermarket to pick up our groceries.
Enn einn daginn hófum með því að versla við Kjarval
Kjarval had very graciously offered to support the Run by providing us with food for the first week of the run. THANK YOU!
Því Kjarvalsverslanirnar styrktu hlaupið með því að bjóða okkur upp á mat fyrir 5 daga. Kærar þakkir!
The scale of landscape features is truly unparalleled.
Ávallt sést til fallegra fjalla.
Each feature has its own personality and Icelandic mythical culture weaves fantastic animated stories into these powerful cliffs and bluffs that are intricately laced with both fine and powerful water falls.
Sérhvert fjall býr yfir sínum eigin persónuleika og íslenskar goðsagnir spinna sagnavef um þessa kröftugu hamra sem gjarnan búa yfir fallegum og kröftugum fossum.
Today was exceptionally windy, particularly for one team.
Í dag var einstaklega vindasamt, sérstaklega fyrir annað liðið.
The wind was 80 kilometers per hour (50 mph) with some gusts far exceeeding that.
Vindurinn var um 80km/klst. og náðu sumar hviðurnar töluvert meiri hraða.
To make matters worse it was a total head wind.
Í ofanálag þá var þetta mótvindur.

Í dag hlupum við á Vatnajökulssvæðinu.
