Stykkisholmur to Reykjavik

Only 2 activities today and a fair bit of driving to get back to Reykjavik.
Stopped off at a waterfall first and spent an hour there wandering along the river. OK waterfall but not as good as we have seen before.
Then, on to a spa where we alternately poached ourselves in the hot spas or sauna and then froze ourselves in the 6 degree plunge pool. Very relaxing and a great way to finish the tour.
Finally, it was a 1.5 hour drive back to Reykjavik where we just had time to settle into the hotel before our guide took us out to a nearby restaurant for a final dinner. As usual the dinner cost us $200, and the food was fairly average. What can you do? It's Iceland. The company was great, though, and it was hard to say goodbye to the guide and the friends we had made on the trip.

Before dinner we had a swim in the local Olympic pool. Heated of course by the thermal water. Icelanders don’t pay anything to heat their houses. They pump thermal water throughout their homes.

Jules was out on the pending doing a water colour coastal view and got so absorbed she was late for dinner. No shower and change of clothes for her.Read more
