Day 9 - The Golden Circle (well parts of it!)
1 - Geysir
Our first stop of the day was the amazing collection of Geysers. There were 2 Geysers, the original 'Geysir' and a smaller geyser 'Strokkur'. Sadly Geysir doesn't really spout water anymore but it is still amazing to see. Strokkur erupts water every 5-10 minutes so we saw it go about 3 or 4 times, once even from inside the car!
HERE is a link to a video Daddy took of Strokkur!

2 - Gulfoss
Gulfoss is Icelands most famous waterfall and has multiple drops, equaling to 31 metres. The water is very powerful. It was very cool to see and we enjoyed ourselves. It is amazing how much water flows so rapidly down the steep drops! It was definitely worth seeing!

3 - Thingvellir
Thingvellir is a nature reserve where you can go hiking and see the nice landscape and the many rifts in the earth as there is plate activity. We did a lovely hike of around 10km on small paths through a barren landscape.
Big crack in the ground!
