Day Twelve

August 3, 2015

Iceland is filled with many amazing things. So for today’s adventure, each passenger was allowed to pick from either a whale watching excursion or a tour around northern Iceland focused on highlighting its diverse geology.

Having already had a whale watching trip back home in preparation for the trip, we decided that it would be much more interesting to explore Iceland’s jewels.

So we hopped onto the buses for an action packed day in northern Iceland.

First stop was a beautiful waterfall that looked almost like Niagara Falls. But the difference here was we were allowed to get extremely close to the actual waterfall. We could hang our toes over the edge and even take pictures that made us seem like we were falling off. It was another sight that was too beautiful to even taken in. It seemed way too perfect to be real.

But of course, one of the most attractive spots at this location was the gift shop, where we all bought various sorts of items that signified our presence in Iceland.

Next stop was a quick walk around a park filled with rocks that were supposedly land trolls that have been frozen into rocks. After that we headed to a family style lunch that was positioned in an area filled with land craters.

Just when we thought we had seen enough of northern Iceland, we were off to a park filled with geysers that spewed sulfuric acid. And let me just tell you, that the smell was horrendous. There’s definitely no doubt while they call this location Devil’s Kitchen.

After that smelly trip, we were back to the ship just in time to hit the showers before our daily recap.
