Day 7 Husavik to Akureyri

Trying to guess the time with the lack of campers and sun, we stumbled out of bed, scrambling down our breakfast we changed into shorts and T-shirts. After having a quick discussion of where to go we whisked off to Godafoss, meaning the waterfall of the gods in the ancient icelandic language. We parked Wendy in a bustling parking lot. Although it wasn't as big and powerful as other waterfalls, it was one of the prettiest, as Mum claimed "a mini Niagara falls. “ According to Norse history, in the year 1000, the law speaker named Porgeir was forced to make a decision on the nation's religion. After 24 hours of meditation he declared the country a Christian nation. On his way home he passed the farm and tossed in his pagan carving of the norse gods hence the name. It was also said that lava once ripped through this waterfall. It was very interesting to see !

As we made the short trek back to Wendy we had a quick snack
consisting of chocolate cinnamon rolls and cups of tea.The final stretch of the drive went quicker thanks to the interesting audiobook we listened to on the way to Myvatn, a geothermal pool. The heat of the pools and cold drinks made up for the stinky egg smell of the sulphur. As Mum, Dad and Arushi calmly bathed in the corner, Eashan and I had fun splashing about. As the pool drained most of our energy we clambered out to have a cold shower, unfortuantly our dreamy visions of a relaxing shower was shattered when we realised how cold the shower actually was. After all gathering up we had yet another cup of tea, going on our final stretch to our campsite,in Akureyri. It was really busy like
Most campsites had been but this one had a HUGE queue to even get on site. Dad imminently joined the queue of campervans blindly whilst mum went out to check what dad was actually queuing for. The campsite was packed vans on vans across acres of field. Fortunately for me and Eashan there were tons of areas to play around in as the other chomped on nuts and played rummibuk.

After a lot of football and running about we got back to a delicous chorizo pasta made by mum which fuelled us up. We ended the night by watching our recently favourite series artful dodger and fell asleep to a blue sky.Read more
