There is no better way to discover a place than to ride through it on horseback. We travel through spaces that cannot be traversed on foot: craggy lava fields opening up into wide rusty red plains...
Staying humble is key on this journey. My horse, Gia, grew distressed when we began to fall behind... It reminded me of the skill, strength and dexterity it takes to ride properly!
At the end of each day, my knees and abs remind me how long it's been since I've been in the saddle. But it's the type of satisfying ache that comes with knowing you've done a really good workout.
The guesthouse is classically Icelandic, unpretentious with comfy beds topped with thick woollen blankets and a cosy lounge opening onto a terrace with a hot tub.
