Forgiveness in Vik

---

So now it's Saturday afternoon. I passed on staying at the National Park because it was as usual raining. The bus ride today took me past one of the nicest places I've seen in Iceland so far. It's a lagoon near the ocean, and there is a glacial tongue at the end of it. As ice breaks off the glacier, it becomes icebergs that float in the lagoon for up to 5 years before finding their way to the ocean. The lagoon is also famous because it was used in the James Bond Goldeneye movie, posing as Siberia. After a 30 minute stop at the I moved on to the village of Vik which has a pretty impressive setting along the ocean with huge cliffs backing the village. It will be a nice one day stop and a fun place to walk around.

Now...i believe in forgiveness. So...I am giving the tent another shot. I fully expect it condensate up and have me waking up wet with a bout of rage. But I do know that the little guy is doing his best and that these just aren't the conditions he was made to handle. So I will bare with the tent for a few more nights, and then it's going to get packed deep in my backpack and not see light until Canada.

From Vik I plan on going to the next village called Skogar which is also supposed to have some impressive sights. Fortunately enough most of Iceland itself consists of "impressive sights"......
