Then off we went to try and find the hot springs. We found them 12 km away down a dirt road.. No one was there so we called the number to see if we could use them and a nice woman picked up and gave Us brief instructions. 500 krona each to be placed in a little tube by the tubs. There was even a changing area that we could use. Wow, were they hot and amazing! There were five of them and each were quite hot yet a little different temperature for each. Coincidently, the Colorado girl, Kabri, drove in just as we were about to get into the tubs. How strange, funny and ironic. We decided after this point of bumping into her just about every day that we needed a photo together! 
I should mention that the only photos I can upload from here are from my phone as none of us have laptops here. So when I return home, I'll add photos to these posts with some other shots too.
We all felt really refreshed and clean after the springs and that made it easier to drive to Vik to spend the night there. We photographed the sea stacks at sunset and then tried to get to the campground from where we had slept a few nights earlier but it had just snowed about six inches (the drive to vik took longer because we drove in a snow storm) and our vans suck in the snow, so we made some amazing reindeer chili in the parking lot of the gas station so we could do the dishes and brush our teeth in the sink there.
We adapt to what we have! Instead of staying in Vik, we drove to skogafoss and stayed in front of the magnificent waterfalls in the hopes of catching the aurora and sunrise. It was freezing there, but well worth it! Aaron and I got some really neat shots with a moon bow too! And we actually got some sleep.
