Sunday 14th of July 2019 - Reykjavik (Iceland)

View from the Cabin

The tour today is called "Best of the Golden Circle" - a full day travelling around Iceland.

Damn it was cold!!!  Obvious I suppose, but I would equate summer as temperatures higher than 10C.

We first drove out to Thingvellir national park - basically it's where the North American tetonic plate and the European plate erupt out of the ground - it's a several kilometer wide rift valley, with tetonic plates on each side.

Waterfalls and Gysers followed!

Strokkut Geyser

Golden Waterfall

We had a lunch near whats called the "Golden Waterfall".

After lunch we visited the geothermal power station, a very impressive structure - although for several kilometers around it smells like rotten egg gas!

Iceland is bigger than I expected, so many large open spaces with little foliage - just a slightly raised road.

Had a good day, it was a very nice place to visit.

Sunset tonight is 11:30PM - Sunrise tomorrow is 3:30am.  Still can't get used to the long days.
