Hallo,
bin mit dem Bus von Myvatn bis Hoefn an der Suedostkueste Islands gefahren
. Hoefn liegt am oestlichen Ende des Vatnajoekull, des groessten Gletschers Europas. Die Ringstrasse suedlich des Gletschers wurde erst 1974 fertiggestellt, da die Gletscherfluesse (der Vatnajoekull hat einige Gletscherzungen gen Kueste) ein unueberwindliches Hinderniss darstellten.
Die Fahrt hat den ganzen Tag in Anspruch genommen, man fuhr eine Weile durch das desolate Innere Islands (dort waechst praktisch nichts) bevor man dann an der Kueste entlang faehrt.
In Hoefn habe ich erneut ein Freibad besucht, daher stoert es nicht, dass der Zeltplatz keine Dusche hatte. In islaendischen Freibaedern geht man ins Wasser um sich aufzuwaermen und verlaesst das Wasser um sich abzukuehlen, also umgekehrt wie in Deutschland.
Gruss
Ralf
