Day 3 - There CAN be sun in Iceland!



Day 3

Today we rose at 7.15 to head off with Yohann and our guide to see some mini craters. These were formed by magma bursting through the earth’s crust. We then headed on to our second waterfall of the trip, called Skogar. It was very beautiful, standing 61m high, with a troll-shaped rock at the side. Here we indulged in our light lunch of sandwiches, etc and Caelan and Danny ate some rather sickly massive chocolate bread things! We then headed onto a glacier. Here we learnt about how to deal with and cope with standing on a glacier. After this Yohann (what a legend!) drove us to another waterfall called Solheimajokull. We were able to walk behind this one and to stand under it in some cases – Matthew! We then went into a small but baltic river where some people even cried with the pain of the cold! After this we headed to our new bedding place and started writing this blog!

What have we leant / find out about in Iceland?

Really isolated waterfalls which are a glorious site.

Towns of 5 houses with nothing inbetween!

The tour ladies poor English!

There was 1 waterfall in particular which was beautiful it had a rainbow gleaming out of it and a troll face watching over it and you could go so close you could actually feel the power of the waterfall falling onto you. Matthew came out drenched!
