At 7:30 David is waking as last one (by his own snorring).
At it seems all rain is falling out of the sky... the sun is
shining and no cloud in the sky. Todays breakfast is muesli.
We leave at nine to catch up with the last kilometers of
yesterday. After the lake the path goes uphill and Koen has
problems with his knee... we have to repack his load.
500m higher we reach the beginning of the "active land".
Green and black is replaced by white and all colors
of brown, yellow and red (with steaming vents and
other "stange" ground-activities).
After lunch, the path goes up and down and at the end there is
a final climb to Hrafntinnusker. The hut (and campsite) is
surrounded with black glass-like rocks. Not easy to find
a "save" spot.
Finnally I can get the food out of my backpack. Another
kilo that's gone. It's cold outside and the water does
not want to boil... we well need to heat it inside.
The German group is also here, they are sleeping inside.
Since it's the last day, the extra portion of kip curry
is also prepared as well... everybody needed it...
A last walk to a nearby boiling pound and a sunset
from the nearby top prepares us for a cold night.
