Iceland: Day 6 - Stykkishólmur

June 30, 2004

After a very windy and sleepless night in the tent, we were off again. Our last stop along the Snaefellsnes Peninsula was the town of Stykkishólmur. The special attraction here is the space age church. The only locals we met were a bunch of Icelandic horses who were still half asleep. Icelandic horses have the unique ability to lie down completely on their side.
