Sunny but cold

That's maybe the best way to describe the weather here at the moment. In the morning we had about -11°C but bright sunshine. Magnús joined us when we went to Ísólfsstaðir to remove the fence. When we arrived, we saw, that the horses already did that job... At least they opened into the big area on their own and were just seen in the very distance on the run. Magnús and Ingólfur moved the fence to the edge of the ditch, so the horses wouldn't go there when roaming around and looking for the best places to eat. Now they have around 60 ha on their disposal, which they'll definitely enjoy.

I took some pics and will put them in an album later today.

In the afternoon we took a drive to Lake Mývatn to visit our friend Ditta and her newborn babydaughter and to relax a bit in The Mývatn Naturebath. On the way the temperature dropped to -22°C and I was already cold when I thought about going outside just in my bathingsuit. Well, wasn't that bad at all and the hot water compensates for the short discomfort. Hjördís joined us and I think, she had a good time at the bath, too. On the way home we saw some Northernlights, unfortunately not as powerful as I'd have liked to see, but strong enough to take some pics. The only disappointment was the closed restaurant on our way home, but that wasn't big trouble.
