 After about an hour on the trail, is the 'magical' spot in the river where the hot and cold waters mix perfectly to create a "hot river" just the right temperature for soaking (assuming you brought your bathing suit on the hike). A wooden boardwalk provides easier access to the river, and many people are soaking in the hot waters here.
For dinner tonight, I visit the nearby town of Þorlákshöfn to try a restaurant that was well reviewed. By this time in the trip, I expected to master the language a bit more -- but underestimated the difficulty in pronouncing these town names (in this case, it's something like "thor-lock-sha" -- but the way I was pronouncing it seemed to make natives cringe).
