Then I might have crossed that bridge.
Reason I say we might have crossed it is that i have little memory of that particular part of the trip. We'd decided to explore the Reykjarnes peninsula on day one on the way to the hotel, but, it was gone 6pm by the time we picked up the car at the airport.
The run down to Grindavik went OK, but by the time we got to Thorlakshofn, the light was going, it was absolutely pissing it down, and our hotel was in Gullfoss.
We. Weren't. Stopping.
To this day I couldn't tell you if we took the road over the bridge and up to Selfoss to pick up the Gulfoss road, or if we went inland and via Hveragerthi (or Hurdy-Gurdy as my other half insisted on calling it). I do know that when we got to Gullfoss I was a nervous wreck from the drive (driving an unfamiliar car on a wet and unlit road, twenty miles from civilisation isn't a great combination).
Still, the clouds parted by the time we got there and we had a fantastic display of the lights after dinner, so worth it in the end.
Just don't ask how much dinner cost...
