More Waterfalls, Strange Smells, and Some Sheep

Once we got off the crazy road, we made it to two waterfalls.  (Pics below)  Now because of our delay and the fun road, it was after 8 when we got there.  We spent some time there, then drove toward our hotel.  One the way we stopped to take a few pics then around 10:00 my friend saw some famous tourist spot and decided to pull in.  I was thinking, it's 10:00, we've been up since like 6:30, but then I remembered, we're in Iceland, it's still light out.  So on the way in, we saw people camping and then past a few campers and tents we saw this toilet, not a porta-potty, but a toilet, just sitting there near some campers.  Talk about feeling exposed.  Can you imagine if you think it's clear, you're about to go, and the suddenly some tourist comes driving down the road at 10:00 at night when you think the coast is clear.  Well, we got to the Krafla and it was cool to see, but it smelled nasty.  Something to do with the sulfur I believe.  We held our breath, took some pics, and got out of there quickly in hopes of smelling nice smells again.  As we drove back to the hotel, we got delayed by some sheep that felt no desire to get out of the road.  They just stood there, not a care in the world, taking their time.  Some girls soon pulled up behind us and got out of the car and yelled at the sheep and got them to move along.  We eventually got to our hotel, which was nice and crashed for the evening.
