After a couple of quiet days, we again headed out for a short drive, this time to visit the goat farm at H\u00e1afell<\/a>. \u00a0On the way back we stopped by some weird\/pretty\/beautiful waterfalls: Hraunfossar<\/a> and Barnafoss<\/a>, but that’ll be another post.<\/p>\n

Again, here are way too many pictures, but hey, goats and waterfalls! \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

Looking in the other direction, up the hill, and towards the houses.<\/p><\/div>\n

\"The<\/a>

The two missing from the above picture, looking a little worse for wear in the strong breeze.<\/p><\/div>\n

\"Bjarki<\/a>

Bjarki checking out the horses, and was disappointed that we couldn’t ride them.<\/p><\/div>\n

\"Somebody<\/a>

Somebody forgot to maintain the roof there…<\/p><\/div>\n

\"Walking<\/a>

Walking after the hens.<\/p><\/div>\n

\"The<\/a>

The kids on a classic Massey Ferguson<\/a> tractor from 1960-something that is still in near-daily use.<\/p><\/div>\n

\"Our<\/a>

Our guide thought these tires were probably the original ones from 1960-something.<\/p><\/div>\n

\"Mugging<\/a>

Mugging for the camera.<\/p><\/div>\n

\"Apparently<\/a>

Apparently this 135 model is the ultimate workhorse.<\/p><\/div>\n

\"Touring<\/a>

\"Cute<\/a>

Cute setup. \u00a0The fee for the guided tour included a cup of tea, which was very welcome.<\/p><\/div>\n

\"The<\/a>

The kids thought it was hilarious that Bjarki had all of a sudden grown a tail. \ud83d\ude42<\/p><\/div>\n
