Kerlingarfjoll and Hveradalir

On our 4th day, Vedur announced much better weather so we could do what we had planned to do: Kerlingarfjöll and Hveravellir before heading to Northern Iceland. The road was long and the hike we had planned was a big trail so we left quite early, around 8:30AM from the
