On our last day in Iceland we drove from the capital Reykjavik to the Snaefellsness peninsula. In warmer weather we would have liked to stop more places along the peninsula but it was very windy again and quite cold, but that's a chance you take when you visit in September. We stopped to see the little black church at Budir, saw some Icelandic horses up close, and took photos of Mt. Kirkjufell with its waterfalls.
The Icelandic horse is a completely unique breed and if one leaves Iceland, it is not allowed to come back. They protect the health of the breed and the horse population very strictly. Many of these horses had blue eyes!
The next day we left Iceland for Ireland and Northern Ireland. I'll post about that part of the trip soon.
