Day 17: Kirkjubæjarklaustur to Skogar

It started to rain heavily over night.
We have never camped in rain before as we have always been lucky in northern Sweden or in Norway. We are not prepared for this.
Usually you have condensation in the inside tent which go away with ventilation. With 100% humidity there is no chance. Whenever you touch the inner tent, drops of water form and fall down on your gear. Therefore the sleeping bags are getting slightly wet.

The tent's, the sleeping pad's and the sleeping bag's covers are in the trailer so I put on my rain gear and get them. We pack everything including the soaking wet tent, have a light breakfast and head for Vik.

It's 12° Celsius in the twizy, we are still a little wet and we are freezing. The first time on this trip.

We can't make it in one charge and there is no infrastructure in between, we therefore need to charge with the generator for about 80 minutes. It is still raining heavily when I unpack and start the generator.

We arrive at Vik and charge at an official charger from ON.

Right next to it is the gas station/restaurant where we have eaten burgers in the past, when we were in Vik. They are really good.

After 2 hours of charging we drive to Skogafoss. There is much more traffic on the streets now. Reykjavik is only two hours of driving away and the drive down to Vik is a tourist's must.
We skip some of the attractions along the road as we have seen them on past trips. We are also quite tired.
