Oh good! It cleared up! I bet you guys were pretty worried after that cliff-hanger in our last post. Well, we made it, and Bonus Ben scooted off to his next adventure, leaving one Ben and one Julia to sally forth on the next leg of our journey.
This particular stretch of road proved particularly strange and mysterious, with sun showers, uncountable hills, and ridiculous pot-holes at every turn.
We stopped and met some friendly little horses who just hung around and ate grass while we looked at them.
Below, Julia gets snubbed by an especially emo equine.
How does this even happen?
At the road's end, we parked the car and continued down a path towards the water.
Ben's mind boggled as he beheld these strange rock formations at the water's edge...
But it was nothing compared to what he saw moving in the water!
They were hesitant at first, ducking under the surface with a freaked-out splash whenever we moved.
Then, in one big blubbery wave, they all flopped into the water and swarmed towards us!
SEALS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Apparently they're really just slightly melted dogs that have learned how to swim. Needless to say, it was super cute.

Eventually we grew tired of their endless curiosity and moved on down the beach to this gnarled monstrosity.
His name is Hvítserkur, and he's a giant troll who, one fateful day, lost track of time and got frozen in the sunlight. Now he hangs out here and looks after the seal colony. What a good dude.
Join us next time for more mountains, some lava, and a magical place we like to call Snæfellsnes.
did you go to the stykki?!
