July 18, 2026. Puffin. Iceland, Day 24. Sure, there are many puffins in the world but what makes this one significant is that I cycled here from the airport and climbed to the cliff to take this photo myself. No artificial tech like cars or buses. I also visited the beluga sanctuary in my second day on Heimaey. #SDDaily. URL: https://ift.tt/WedZHsP

July 17, 2026. Bjarnarey. Iceland, Day 22. I sent the day on the main Westmann Island, Heimaey, exploring and relaxing. I also took a boat excursion that gave us a good look at an outer island, Bjarnarey. Currently camping in an old volcano crater. For once, the weather was sunny! #SDDaily. URL: https://ift.tt/5kHbh0c

July 16, 2026. Westmann Islands. Iceland, Day 22. I cycled 45 km from Hella to the ferry, happily no rain (except at the island) and not so many hills. The wind, though not really a help, was at least not in my face. It was still cold, though, and I was happy to take breaks where I could. This was probably my last long ride of the trip, which should do wonders for my aching bones. #SDDaily. URL: https://ift.tt/vtHagZR

July 15, 2026. Walter Mitty Bridge. Iceland, Day 21. Cycled from Selfoss to Hella today. Lots of traffic and the weather did not clear up as promised - instead I fought wind and rain the whole way. This is my second time seeing the Walter Mitty Bridge, but I've never seen the movie. #SDDaily. URL: https://ift.tt/3Ng8M7Y

July 14, 2026. Still in Selfoss. Iceland, day 20. Second zero day. It was well chosen. There was a steady heavy rain all day along with a high wind. I rested indoors, except for a brief outdoor walk where I spotted these creatures under the Selfoss bridge. #SDDaily. URL: https://ift.tt/XDA3amN

July 13, 2026. Selfoss. Iceland, Day 19. This is a genuine zero day, complete with a hotel stay (and may I say, the $150 suite I got at Aska Selfoss is the best deal in Iceland). It's pouring rain outside. I've caught up on sleep, dried out, gotten some proper food in me, and am easing my various aches and pains. Seen is the Ölfusá looking downstream just near the bridge. #SDDaily. URL: https://ift.tt/lwOhEfr

July 12, 2026. To Selfoss. Iceland, Day 18. This was the scene to my right as I pushed my bike up yet another hill. I had already spent a couple hours cycling slowly through that cloud you see at the top. Rain and wind throughout. It's funny to think that only 22 km would take so much effort on my part, but that is how it is this trip. Better reward and the end, though - a hotel room and pizza. Gotta try to build up my strength. #SDDaily. URL: https://ift.tt/aFBbOf6
