Headed to the Iceland’s Golden Circle, a popular tourist route close to Reykjavik.

First stop another waterfall. Gullfoss. We still had bad weather, lots of rain =[

Double Rainbows are not uncommon here when there is sun light.

Next stop Geysers of Haukadalur.

This is Strokkur. Which erupts erupts every 5 – 10 minutes.

 

Our next stop is Þingvellir, however we decided to go back to Reykjavik instead because the weather was still bad.

We went to the famous Crossfit Reykjavik. Home of Annie Thorisdottir. She wasn’t in 🙁

After the WOD, we were told that Annie would be coaching the next day at 11am at Laugardalslaug (Iceland’s outdoor swimming pool heated by Geothermal energy). We could not miss this chance to finally meet her!

We then looked for a hostel around Reykjavik had some camping food, and then to bed early.

Had the whole day to explore Reykjavik.

This is Laugavegur St. which is Reykjavik’s main street.

Had some time waiting for our car rental guy to come, so we drank Iceland’s Gull beer *yuck* while writing postcards to buddies.

Got the car rental at around 5PM. First thing we did. FIND A BOX!!!!

Gotta work on Rope Climb technique. Freaking scary to be up the rope.

After that we got our groceries, hotdogs thenstarted driving east towards Hofn with no idea where to stay that night, or where we would stop…weeee

Was getting tired and looked for a place to stay…the only place close was a hotel, which costs 20,000 ISK so we decided not to stay there. Drove another 50km East where we stayed at Hvoll for less than 10,000ISK.


Warm beds at Hvoll
