Laugafell trip attempt :P

During last weekend we decided to go to highlands once more, to see hot springs in Laugafell and Aldeyjarfoss waterfall. We checked road conditions, the weather also seemed not bad, so we left Akureyri in the morning.

Mountain tops in snow.




Sign warning drivers, that they'll have to cross the streams on the way.




Well not only crossing, but actually flowing on the road :P


The higher we were going, the more snow was appearing.




On the top - it was starting to get really dangerous - the weather became terrible and amount of snow on the road made it almost impossible to drive on summer tires.


And as a result at this point we had to turn back.


Well, maybe we didn't see what we wanted, but I gained a lot of experience in driving and we learned that you shouldn't mess with Icelandic weather and sometimes it can be really dangerous.
