Today we went on the Golden Circle Tour on a tour bus with a big group. We stopped at a bunch of places, and there is not a ton to say about each one so this entry will be mostly pictures.
The first place we stopped was a geothermic power plant that heats a lot of Reykjavik. Next we stopped at a very small crater lake. Our tour guide had a pretty heavy Icelandic accent and at first he kept saying "we are going to go see the creator (instead of crater)." That said, see the picture of my dad to the right.
After the crater, we made two short stops, one at a church with a view of the valley. Inside the church there was a string quartet practicing- the music was really pretty. The other stop was at a small waterfall. We stopped for much longer at our next stop- the Grand Geyser- for walking around and eating lunch.
Our next place was Gullfoss, also known as Golden Falls. The last stop on our trip was Thingvellir National Park, where there are remains of one of the first parliaments in the world. The view and the clear glacial waters were spectacular, too.
