Germany Day 4
Munich BMW
Our lunch was at the nearby Sker Restaurant with decent food. After driving 3.5 hours, we arrived at the Hvitserkur in the vast northern sea, where a solitary troll was quenching its thirst in the water. Not only does the volcanic plug bear a striking resemblance to a drinking rhinoceros, echoing its shape, posture, and even its textured skin. "Hvitserkur" translates to "white shirt," as seabirds perennially soar around it, leaving white excrement partially covering the massive stone. It became a photographer's favorite spot too. It is also a seal watching site.
Descending from the observation platform to the beach involves navigating a very steep mountain path, requiring extreme caution.
Our Day 6 was spent on Western and Northwestern part of Iceland. Driving time actually took longer than sightseeing time. The Northwest region is one of the least populated areas in the country, the most untamed region of the island and the least frequented by tourists. Fishing is the only economic activity in this region, which has a harsh climate and beautiful terrain.
