I woke up to rain, lots of rain, but sadly no snow! It was just a very wet and very cold Tuesday , not that, that would have ever stopped us from getting out and exploring, however dryer weather always makes it that little bit more tolerable. Anyways the rain actually subsided whilst I was sat there eating my Goldilocks porridge, and soon the sun was shining. It was freezing though, like FREEZING outside my face was literally frozen!!!
So day 2 of my amazing Icelandic adventure and we were heading off on about a 2 hour drive to see the strokkur geyser which has been around since about 1789, as well as some other geysers. I wasn’t sure how WOW I would find them, but actually up close they are amazing, I mean that is all a natural occurrence, so that was some definite WOW factor.
Whilst in the area we also took a drive to Gullfoss Falls, which is probably one of the most beautiful places I have visited! The two-tiered waterfall has a total cumulative height of 32 metre (105 feet). It is also the largest volume waterfall in Europe. But much more than those facts, it’s STUNNING!! But it’s also oh so very, very cold! I’m sure I’ve gotten frost bite on at least 3 occasions during this trip! But still I am having the best adventure, Iceland is just dreamy, picturesque, beautiful, stunning I could go on and on, but really it is everything. Oh and the people are pretty friendly here too.
Really couldn’t seem to get my head around the money though, everything is thousands, luckily I have a Luke (everyone needs one of those)
Finished off the day with a meal at A Hanson and an ice cream from the parlour, because when it’s freezing out, get an ice cream right.
