The Golden Circle

Today started with a walk along the water and then finished with a tour to see the world famous "golden circle" of three sites.

Very pretty sites but the tour sucked. Maybe 40 minutes of cool things to see and the other 7 hours were just driving around (still pretty but not as pretty from a bus with wet and grumpy passengers) and stopping at gift shops. How many stuffed puffins do you need to see? The correct answer is 2.

Some pictures from the day:



Before the tour, we walked along the water. This is the famous meeting place of Gorby and Ronnie.




Magic mushrooms?




Gulfoss, a badass waterfall.




Geysir, bubbling.




Tourist crap for 8.50US.
Insane.

Tomorrow is the Blue Lagoon to relax in hot springs and algae.

Then, we're renting a car for 2 days for some day trips on our own. That tour today soured us big time. Freedom from tour people!
