So far it has been decent. Expensive but the prices include tax and you don’t tip. We just ate some fish sandwiches for a late lunch. Each one was around $23. So that would be around an $18 sandwich at home?
Had some excellent pastries and coffee our first morning. Lunch was meh at a museum. Dinner I had trout. Best trout I’ve had I think.
Yesterday and today we had breakfast at the hotel. Decent continental style. We are lunch yesterday at a tomato greenhouse. Excellent food. I had tomato beer and tomato ice cream.
Yeah. It is not really like straddling 2 plates there. Think of it like a scar after a big surgery. The National park is on the scar itself. You can measure the plates pulling apart using spots that are distant but there isn’t a spot you can actually tough two plates that way.
Still cool. We were watching snorkelers and divers entering the crystal clear 2 degree water there. We almost signed up for that but $$$
It was pretty warm when we were out and about. 15-17C. Lots of sun in the morning. Some decent rain when we were driving back from Geysir.
I wonder if they have ever had a tornado here.
Yeah. Gullfoss was more impressive than I though. We thought Thingvellir National Park was the best though. That’s where you can measure the plates pulling away 2cm per year
Saw our first glacier today from Gullfoss. Kayaking a glacial lagoon Friday
The BAC (big ass church) and Leif statue.
We spent the morning downtown (after clearing customs, security etc and getting our rental car)
Then we visited a science museum called the Perlan. Pretty cool. I picked out my ice throne for this winter
