Līgo! The day to be nostalgic about Latvia. After a hard and long (one could say awful) working day, we finally escaped to the cliffs! Neither Jāņu bonfires nor flowers/oak leaves crown for us, but at least we got to run away for this special night. Beer, small toasts and the ocean in front of us : these are all we needed. Up on the cliffs we had our little moment of midsummer happiness, facing the changing colors of the wind and looking for the midnight's sun. In Iceland sun never really sets around midsummer, but it is sometimes hard to find it through the clouds.
Far from home we nevertheless had a true Jāņu weather, with wind, rain and everything. Or maybe was it just the true icelandic weather. Icelandic beer was nice, but right after the first one rain forced us to move. We went looking for a funny cave we found on our first day. This cave is actually a kind of amusing installation of a giant's home. In there sits a statue of a snoring and farting giant. Anyway, we arrived in front of a closed door. But nearby stones offered us some kind of refuge from the rain. Thus we could finish our picnic with the noises of the sleepy giant...
