I do hope to have a group with more experienced riders though, but can't help it as I booked at a tourist agency. Next year I SHALL prepare better to find something wonderfull. Like riding underneath the auroras (when skies are clear that is).
In the afternoon we continue our touristic must see route to Geysir, Strokkur, Gullfoss and Pingvellir. The place where the American continental plate meets the European continental plate. The only place on Earth where you can step from America to Europe. Geologicaly that is.

It is again a day full of stunning nature. I heard that Geysir has been slight more active lately. Not daily but who knows... I am lucky to witness the name giver to this water fountains in action. At least Strokkur will do every 10 minutes or so.

Must be amazing to see the water going against gravity. Just before we go see it coming down with the gravity as well. By visiting Gullfoss. The Golden Waterfall.

I believe any waterfall is beautifull. But I have many in Iceland I want to visit. Beside discovering some rather unknown ones. It is Gullfoss (visiting here), Skogafoss (which I hopefully visited yesterday), Dettifoss, famous for its created waterfall fogs with rainbows, Svartifoss which is afoot of a glacier falling down a huge bassalt wall, looking like a huge natural church organ. Fjallfoss/Dynjandi a beautifull faerytale style cascade waterfall. Most definitely the most beautifull of them all. My life will be complete after seeing the auroras and visiting this waterfall. Or waterfalls, because it seems this one is not alone. And there are lots more. Really I already know this won't be the last time I visit Iceland. I already die for it to book the next one!
