Back at the hostel. VERY tired. Thinking of just taking the night off, finding a quiet cafe.

Tried to jump on the Icelandic President's summer house's wifi in Thingvellir. Password protected! Grr.

Just filled up my water bottle and drank from a spring. Dasani's got nothing on Iceland.

Just was told a bit of Icelandic history; apparently Persian Pirates invaded an area of Iceland.

Gah, camera battery died just as Strokkur, a geyser, exploded.

Seeing the Gulfoss waterfall now. Amazing natural beauty. Plus; refreshing mist!

There's a big rumbling sound every few minutes. Asked a guide; said something about an earthquake sensor. Awesome.

At a geothermal power plant in Iceland. Amazing.

Apparently the working population of Iceland is about 3 football crowds of people. Nuts.

Doing the Golden Circle tour today. Guide is a Brit named David. Nat, Der and Sar didn't make it, too bad.

Just heard an Icelandic cover of Green Day's "Basketcase"

Having a late dinner at an Italian restaurant, with Chinese elements, in Iceland. Baha.

Everyone's home! Some went river rafting, some went glacier climbing. I still prefer my history filled day!
