Our week has started amazing: after a stormy weekend, the sun greeted us Monday morning, colouring the mountains first pink, then golden.

Also for the upcoming days the weather forecast looks great and even the sun seems to stay with us for a bit more.
As it is fairly known, when in Iceland one can easily find all diferent seasons in a single day, without travelling that much and expecting it even less. For outdoor celebrations, if the rays of the sun are bright and powerful and not that shy, it automatically raises up the energy and the mood for whatever upcoming event we might face.
