Reykjavik in Iceland.
This trip starts with a walk through the Þingvellir
National park. Þingvellir (en. Parliament fields) is a UNESCO world
heritage site
and the original birthplace of the oldest existing parliament in the
world. In addition it is the place where the great tectonic plates of
America and Europe meet and the rift valley is clearly visible.
The geothermal area of Geysir, the home of the one and
only Geysir. There the ground gurgles, bubbles and super heated water
escapes from the ground with enormous force. Next we stroll down to
Gullfoss, the undisputed queen of Icelandic waterfalls. Gullfoss is an
amazing sight, the water rushes down three steps of lava layers with
breathtaking power and grandeur.
Drumbó basecamp is our following
stop and there we eat lunch before heading out for a great rafting trip
on Hvítá river. Afterwards the sauna and hot tubs are at hand before
entering the road again.
