Day 5, pt 4 Glacier/Black Sand Beach

Heading back to Reykjavik. We drove the scenic southern coast of the Golden Circle. We enjoyed the panoramic views of the surrounding mountains, glaciers and the Eyjafjallajökull volcano. Not really on the itinerary, we got a Jonas Bonus for minimizing our time at 2 waterfalls: we got to go to the black sand beach. By the time we got there it was very cold and windy – must be a function of being on the ocean (and I’m assuming it’s the ocean).
