+++The Drive North to SKAGASTROND+++

And thus I began the latest chapter of the journey, to head north on the Ring Road in my little grey Chevy rental that could, up to the fishing village of Skagastrond, population 500, where my next residency awaits. The vistas and weather changes dramatically and include curious ponies, hidden heathen chrome compasses, treacherous one lane bridges, the longest natural tunnel I have ever driven (15-20 minutes at top speed??) and vast idylls.
