Iceland Horse trek

[SuffolkGirl]

Last month I went to Iceland for a quick vacation. Flew into Reykjavik on Saturday morning. Spent the day in Reykjavik - they were celebrating gay pride so it was quite colorful. On Sunday morning I headed to the northwest - the Vatsandalur Valley for 3 days of riding across the valley. In a word it was spectacular. The weather was perfect, the daylight lasted for 19 hours or so and the horses were the sweetest most willing steeds. We rode with a herd of loose horses, some of us riding in front while others fanned out in the back.

Anyone who has thought about going should stop thinking and go. It was probably one of my favorite vacations and I have had some pretty nice vacations. The accomodations are spartan, the food is basic but the exhilirating rides and scenery make this vacation. I'm making my plans to head back next year.

As always, I took many pictures. Here is a link to them - enjoy
