Hrafntinnusker - Landmannalaugar

This morning there is a little ijs on the ground... and on the tents... so it must be freezing... After our breakfast (that drops like a stone in my stomach) we leave for our last day. And it's a good thing: today Karin has a knee problem, and I'm not feeling well. Luckely it's a short day today.
Along some mud- and sulfur-holes the path goes down to Landmannalaugar. Via a maze of lavadunes we finally arrive at the campsite. Together with Koen, Karin, David and Arsène, I walk slowly, but I'm exhausted and after setting the tent, I going in for a little sleep. But a with Cola and a Mars the energy is returning, and we are ready to go for a swim in the hot springs.
One more dried dish and then I'm back in my sleeping bag... Hope this doesn't last for the next two week of out trip.
Some of the group have enough energy to make another small walk, and to take a second hot-tob. They even see some flashes of the "Northern Light".
