A really quick stopover in Reykjavik on the way home. I booked an evening tour at an Icelandic Horse Theatre performance. It was really good, they portrayed the history of the breed and the many roles these horses have in Icelandic culture. We then were able to meet a couple of the riders and get up close and personal with some of the horses in the stables. They are beautiful creatures with the most amazingly calm & friendly temperaments.
They also demonstrated the different horse gaits including the 5th gate (fast pace) which is unique to only this breed. Wow, they are fast!
Another lovely hotel room, this one on the 5th floor, with a rounded corner and windows all along the wall! The next morningI had a late breakfast, a bowl of soup at a lovely cafe across the street where I picked up supper for on the plane. Then off to the airport for the final leg of my epic journey.
