Let's continue our journey by riding these horses......Noooo, we are just kidding :P You can see these horses along the way in Iceland. Icelandic horse is quite unique with that hairstyle.
It started to get dark so we went to our accommodation and cooked dinner and got some rest.
Start new day with Vestrahorn and Viking cafe'. We walked around, took some photos and visited the old village and keep moving because today we have a long way to drive until next town.
We rested at the hotel around Egilsstaðir area. If you have some time, we recommend to visit Seyðisfjörður. The place which is a location in the movie "Walter Mitty" although we did not have enough time to visit ourselves.
Tips: The road in East Iceland is quite steep. You should be cautious and drive slowly in this area
We planned to spend whole day in this town.....Next destination is Botanical Garden.
For some of us who like nature. This place is heaven ! A lot of flowers and plants that we never seen before.
Let's picture tell story

Pink lupin
We chilled out in this town. However, the trip must go on. We departed to Skagaströnd where we booked a guesthouse. When arrived, we checked in, took a shower and waited for aurora.
We waited for a big while, looking around the sky but could not see any green light. Some of us went to bed with sadness. Some kept checking aurora forecast.
Although Kp index from aurora forecast is high (index that can tell how strong of aurora is), our place had a lot cloud and could not see anything.
