To Reykjavik… We left Reykholt and went to Reykjavik. When we arrived, we had a free afternoon wandering around down town so Matthias, Ottar, Ato, and Inspektor Framholt walked around. We stopped at this pipe shop and bought some of this sniffing tobacco and it really has a kick to it. Gotta try new things. Then as Ottar calls it, “tradition” we must go eat at KFC and then to McDonalds for dessert. But just to get to the KFC we needed to take a public bus to a different area of Reykjavik. It took awhile to find the right bus, but we managed to find it. We got our KFC and then Ottar and Inspektor had a Mcflurry for dessert. At night in Reykjavik you can see a large light that shines up in the air and its in memory of John Lennon… and Ato thought it was in memory of Jay Leno.. kinda had to be there. On Saturday we went to the blue lagoon and it was as great as I remembered it. There was also a dj that was playing so it was like an outdoor dance club there. Today we took the golden circle route... interesting side note, I puked on the bus... I didnt feel well at all after breakfast, but after I puked, I felt much better. Now we are in a town near Selfoss. They have 2 hottubs, a steam bathe, a warm swimming pool and 2 slides, the large one which sucks because it is extremely slow. So tonight after middage we all went out for a swim and had a great time. Tomorrow I will be walking on a glacier, so PERHAPS I shall go get ready for bed.
Oh, and also, I have been thinking about how I feel about Iceland... I like it here, I would never live here but I enjoy it, I cannot explain why, but I would definitely recommend visiting Iceland at least once in your lifetime and experience this very unique place for yourself.
Barnefoss... look close and you can see that the water comes out from underneath old lava
Halgrims Church in Reykjavik
Traditional Icelandic dinner... KFC, Ottar and Matthias`s idea... I forgot how good KFCs chicken was
Traditional Icelandic dessert... Ottar and Matthias`s idea, I did not have any.
There happened to be a live DJ at the Blue Lagoon.. this is the Norwegian Folk living it up to the really bad techno music
Ahhhh... the Blue Lagoon... one of my favorite places in the world
The North American Plate... this is the edge of it... quite fascinating to see
Standing between two continents
This is looking at the North American continental plate... from where I am taking this picture, I am between the European and American plates.
Gullfoss... nice waterfall
Geysir... nothing like watching really hot water blow up in the air... it is about the same size as Ol` Faithful in Yellowstone.
