Iceland golden circle tour with Hawk

What a great day! Our guide, Hawk, was an extremely knowledgeable and friendly driver. We took in craters, geysers (which we found out are named for a place here in Iceland that is actually called Geysir and has now become synonymous with any pent-up hot water spring from the ground), waterfalls, greenhouses and more. The pictures explain some of this. By the way, thankfully, while it IS Cold outside, the wind was relatively calm and helped make it a manageable time for the entire day.... Even for the walk all the way around the crater. The tomato greenhouse was quite interesting, the bakery was magnificent, and overall it was just a fun time. Now I have to pick which pictures to include for today. Not an easy task. BTW, The photo of me straddling a deep trench is actually me straddling the Eurasia and American tectonic plates. It runs right through Iceland. Those two plates are moving away from each other and stretching Iceland out. Luckily it was slow enough that I didn't have to do the splits! HahahaLeer más
