The Golden Circle

I got a late start, but considering its daytime always, I still ventured out to the day trip around the “Golden Circle”.  Armed with my GPS unit I set it on a tour that included powerful waterfalls, exploding geysers,  vast glaciers, and a major crack in the earth where the North American and Eurasian tech tonic plates separate.  Not only did the robotic voice tell me where to turn, it also passed on stories and history that makes me feel I could come up with some answers if interrogated in Icelandic trivia.

The loop is easy and close enough to Reykjavik that there were hoards people taking in all the sights through their GoPro mounted selfie sticks.  I looked like a rookie with my old iPhone 5.

Rather than making my way back into Reykjavik, I decided to get a head start on the big loop (Ring Road) and stayed a couple hours away out in the countryside.  Finally took my first much needed shower and passed out hard.

I have a lot of driving ahead of me.
