Today‘s beginning was rough, mainly because Julian’s had a puncture which we just couldn‘t seem to repair properly. We ended up at the little tower house and decided to give Julian’s tyre another go. Unfortunately the tyre wouldn’t stop loosing milk as tyre just wouldn’t sit on the rim like it should. Julian’s had enough of his first tubeless ride and decided to switch to his beloved tube-setup. It’s funny, since I really hoped to convince him of all the advantages of riding tubeless - maybe it’s just not for him.

Today Iceland showed us the true meaning of headwind. It’s fascinating how the winds can turn just in synchrony with us. Going up the first mountain on our route today was no piece of cake. When we finally saw the mountain hut there was no energy left to explore it from the inside. It was a race against the clock - we really didn’t want to miss out dinner. In the end we made it just in time.

When we started our third day, it was misty and cold. The witchcraft museum was the ideal place to warm up a bit before going back on track. When we left the museum we were suprised to see then sun shining and all fog gone. Magic! Unfortunately the wind was back and once again against us. Luckily we know now how to change the wind. Now we just need to find the right fish head.

After we climbed the last mountain of the day the wind was kind to us and gave us a push to the end. We already knew we were not going to make it in time for coffee and cake at the Café. Therefore we decided not to cycle all the way down and up again and instead just took a photo from afar. Our reward for the day was some delicious icebreaker from N1 supermarket right before we finally made it to our cozy apartment.
