Well, I believe that is my longest blog title ever because I couldn't decide between three ideas. Our first night in Iceland, we did "The Golden Circle" tour. It's a famous Iceland tour that many tour companies do (you can do it on your own too if you have a car) that includes Thingviller, Sulfoss, and Geysir. Translation: a national park that is the location of the old parliament, a waterfall, and a geyser. I enjoyed the tour, but in retrospect doing a tour that started at 7:00pm and went until nearly midnight after all ready being up for 36 hours may not have been the smartest of planning. Anyway, at our first stopped it was raining pretty hard so we didn't stay too long. The rain lightened up a bit by the time we got to the waterfall, but of course being close to a waterfall can cause one to get wet anyway, same with the geysir. The only time I was really cold during the whole vacation was sitting on that bus in wet clothes, no make that SOAKED clothes. Let's just say trying to change out of wet jeans is not fun (nor is going to the bathroom when you have to put said wet jeans back on). According to our tour guide, Iceland had a bit of a drought for three months. Fortunately, for them, but not so fortunate for us, the drought ended around the time we arrived. So enough with the whining and here are some more pictures from the evening...
I couldn't get a picture of the geysir errupting, but I did get a little video of it, which hopefully, will play. So here's the not so good picture, followed by the video...
