Overall, a very wet day. We started in the morning with a short tour of the village we spent the night in, Reykholt – very nice and tiny. Then we moved down the road to see a geothermal pool nearby.
Going back towards Reykjavik we stopped for a short hike up to the highest waterfall in Iceland: Grymul.
The hike wasn’t very long but it was quite steep in treacherous terrain, but the view from there was well worth it. Just as we took a few pictures of this cascading marvel, it started to rain, and together with the fiercely wind, it sent us back on out tracks. The hike also involved the crossing of a river via a log and wire… we both decides to cross it sitting and moving along the log – hilarious (especially for my bum…).
By the time we were back to the van, we were totally drenched, so we treated ouselves with a cup-a-soup and a hot meal of sausage and mash!
After warming up somewhat and a change of trousers, we went on towards Reykjavik and the Reykjanes Peninsula, where we managed to see another geothermal pool – just.
We then decided to call it a day, and we’re stopping in Grindavik for the night. Tomorrow is our last day with the van, so, we have a Geological Museum planned here, and then, depending on the weather, we’ll decide how to go on to be in Reykjavik by 6:00 pm, to give the van back.
