Day 6 Golden Circle

An early start this morning as we headed back towards Reykjavik.  We did stop for coffee enroute and observed this glorious sunrise at 10:30 am.

After our coffee stop we drove around the Golden Circle.  The main attractions being the Gulfoss waterfalls, and Geysers.




In the evening we tried to get near the infamous Blue Lagoon, but unfortunately a new fissure opened up in the car park and all we could see were the red flames 10 KM away! 



As you drive around Iceland, all the grave yards were lit up.  Spooky!


Back at the hotel, I decided to go for a walk to the beach as I really wanted to get a photo of the Northern Lights.  Nothing could be seen with the naked eye, but setting the camera's exposure to 20 seconds revealed all!


That's it folks.  Time to fly back home!!

Day 8 - Driving

 Today we had a day off with a drive between resorts.  As you can imagine there are lots of Paddy fields in Sri Lanka. What I did not expect...
