Day 3: Kjaransvik to Rekavik Today I had a very late start at 17:00, as there was rain before and I hate carrying a heavy, wet tent in addition to my heavy backpack! Day 2 and 3 are still tough, as I didnt manage to eat much food and so far also there were no foxes for the hot dogs and dog food! After 1h I passed a summer house and it was crowded with very nice Icelandic people! They invited me for dinner (noodles with beer) and told me interesting stories on Hornstrandir! But then at 19:00 I started the same route that I already hiked 10y ago! Last time I lost the route and this time was also difficult as of the fog! The stone markers are very helpful but sometimes the fog is too dense to see the next one! But this time I managed to find the route and finally I reached the camp site! Very soon I saw ears hiding in the higher gras and of course it was an arctic fox! So first photo session! My hot dogs were very welcome and the female fox gave everything to her 4 cubs! They were figthing for the hot dogs! This way I save the life of some birds! Their home is below an "info house". I didnt need my tele-lens! I can go as close as 30cm to the female fox! The little ones however are a bit anxious, but tomorrow I will get closer to them! :-) So far from beautiful Hornstrandir! There are colorful flowers, green grass, foxes everywhere, the sea, clouds and fog, but also sun and nice mountains. Not to forget some tame birds!
