21.August 1998

Iceland 1998 - Vesturdalur At morning we woke up in a good mood. Half before 10 AM we went with bus to stone city Vesturdalur. All parts of stone city were created from lava. It flaw here long time ago, and created nice elements. Through the city are good marked pathways. We had enough time, and we saw whole city. After Vesturdalur exhibition we did our first longer hike.

Iceland 1998 - Rautholar We crossed canyon of river Jokulsa back to our camp in Asbyrgi. All of us prepared some energy drinks for this tour. Our group declined Isostar and other well known marks, and instead of them we chosen "Demanovka" (Slovak national herbaceous alcohol). This energy drink gave us a lot of energy, and we got over all traps on our way with unbelievable effort. Also I didn't feel my usual absence of energy. Nature around us was beautiful. The most beautiful point on our way was Rautholar volcano, with slag of many colors. But our energy drink finished together with our energy. We were on plain surface already, and in short time we reached our camp. After shower we grouped in one tent and started to play cards. "Marias" is well known card game in Slovakia, usually played with men in pubs. Hilda decided to learn this game. After some time she managed basic rules of this game and we could play in 4 members formation. At 11 PM it started to be cold and we decided to go to sleep to our tents. Our sleeping bags warmed us and we slowly went to our dreams.
