Day 3 - Golden Circle

Yesterday we did a Golden Circle tour with Gray Line.  They picked us up at bus shop #15 one block from our hotel!  We left at 9:30 AM and got back at 6:00 PM.  

Our first stop was the Thingvellir National Park.  We saw the tectonic plate and and Iceland forest.  Much smaller trees than our Canadian National Parks, but very unique.  On the way we saw Icelandic horses.  They are small and gorgeous.  We also saw lamb farms.


Our next stop was at Iceland's geothermal activity as Geysir.  It was very interesting.

Check this link for my video:   Geysir    

There are many geysers but this spouts every 5 to 10 minutes

We had a nice lunch here and a great visit.  

From Geysir, we went to the waterfall at Gullfoss.  What a gorgeous site!

Our next two days we have very long tours.  I will blog when time permits!
