Day 4 part 1, Hot Springs Hike

Hot Springs Hike (Reykjadalur) Apart from a few stops to see some sights, our only activity today was to take a “short” upward hike (maybe 30-40 minutes) along the scenic Reykjadalur trail. We walked along the rolling hills and pools of bright blue water. Follow the steaming pools that line the footpath until you come to the hot springs - natural pools heated by geothermal activity. This was not smelly at all. Most of us did get into the geothermally-heated springs and vegged out for about an hour. We had each made our own sack lunch so we could eat whenever we wanted. As with the day before on our ride back home we stopped at a grocery to buy goodies. It was again a beautiful, sunny day.
