Embarking
on the Golden Circle Classic tour, we had a very charming guide share a wealth
of information and history along the drive and in the Pingvellir National Park,
where we straddled a narrow rift between the North American and Eurasian tectonic
plates. The Rift Valley was awesome.
We
visited the beautiful Gullfoss waterfall, where we enjoyed the specialty - lamb
soup - mmmm. Then off to the the hot springs of Geyser, where my son got soaked
by the spray of the geyser.
Overall,
a fine day experiencing some of the most popular sites in Iceland.
Returning
in time for dinner, we headed over to Cafe Paris for dinner, just around the
corner from our hotel. The best burgers yet - burgers seem to be very popular
in Iceland, with some very creative condiments. A cool spot, very busy and
varied menu.
Today
is Independence Day in Iceland and, despite the rain, the bandshell by the
Harpa Concert Hall attracted a moderate crowd. Fortunately the music wrapped up
by 10 so we were able to sleep.
