Nelly 01 needed to buy lots of wool, and we found that the wool shop here wasn't too far from our accommodation so we walked there. Being here, we of course also visited the two caches.
Thanks for the box with space for some items at a very nice place :)
After a long walk along the shore we reached the place here in the evening perfectly in schedule. Counted the poles and got plausible coordinates. Went over there and after a few minutes of searching we found a lid, then also a box.
Since the lid doesn't close, we did not put anything in.
At the town in Germany where we live someone made a whole cache series based on the Icelandic Santas. Sadly the series isn't maintained any more so were never able to complete it. However, that's where we know all of them from ;)
We had a bit leftover time to spend and went here out to the island. The fact that this box was large enough to hold items was one more reason to visit it. Added a trackable Santa ;)
Coming over from the Grábrók hostel we visited this really beautiful waterfall.
Finding the cache was a bit difficult, though, since we obviously tried a wrong approach first. This looked a bit too dangerous to us, but we then discovered that there was another, less dangerous route to the cache. Using this we were successful.
Btw, I'm a bit surprised about the number of "found" logs where people describe why they didn't even search. How's not even trying a find?
Staying at Akureyri, we walked out here on uncommon ways with nice views, greeted the horses and walked back to the city.
Nice place, thanks for the cache :)
On our first afternoon in Akureyri we walked out here to the Botanical Garden and found a lot of snow ;) Luckily this was no problem here - we did easily find the cache.
(On the previous days, we failed on four of six caches in Austurland because of too much snow...)
We had arrived with the Norröna ferry in the morning and went here for our first cache in Iceland. Finding a way to the cache wasn't exactly easy but finally we stood at the walls. Which were partly obscured by layers of hard ice, also searching in a snowstorm wasn't really comfortable.
However, the cache was reachable and we could log it.
