We go out Reykjavik afterwards the breakfast as well as headed lead to Thingvellir, our initiative of all halt of the famous Golden Circle.

The earth, burn as well as H2O tour. You tin create it starting as well as ending inwards Reykjavik, as well as it’s something similar 300 kms. You tin bring together a tour, there’s a lot of offer, or rent a car. I genuinely mean value that renting a machine is the cheaper as well as funniest option, yous tin halt whenever yous desire and, inwards Iceland, I tin hope yous that yous volition convey a lot of reasons to halt as well as go overwhelmed whit all the beauty approximately you.
Has nosotros told before, our innovation was to create the vociferation upward route approximately Republic of Iceland so, instead of returning to Iceland, afterwards nosotros create the Golden Circle, nosotros would become lead to Hella, were nosotros slept our 2nd nighttime on Iceland.

And yes, yous start to run across the waterfalls that yous imagine inwards Republic of Iceland but, on that matter, that’s but the beginning.
Thingvellir is equally good a of import house for Republic of Iceland because it was at that topographic point that the independence was declared. Sense 2004 that UNESCO declare it has a World Heritage.
During the summer, yous tin role the service station as well as tourist information.
Geyser- After Thingvellir, nosotros drove threescore kms to Geyser, a real active geothermal region, equally good known has Geyser Park. Unfortunately, Geyser doesn’t run has it role to create it but, nosotros convey the geyser Strokkur, that its real active and, expels H2O at a superlative of 20 meters amongst a regularity of v minutes.

You convey at that topographic point the Gullfoss kaffi , where yous tin consume a lamb soup. We didn’t consume but, its famous approximately travelers.
We followed our trip as well as headed to Kerið, passing past times Skálholt. Skálholt has a pretty church building but, afterwards a quick photo, nosotros headed to Kerið (57 kms drive).
Kerið- Is a pretty volcanic crater. It used to go for gratis but, directly they accuse yous 350 ISK, something similar €2 / 3 USD. It’s pretty, and, deserves the money. It was the solely natural beauty that nosotros pay inwards Iceland. The large work is that, perchance inwards a non real far future, it volition go non the solely pay tourist attraction. Probably well-nigh of the awesome places nosotros went volition go charged. You tin hike to the bottom of the crater, its non real hard, fifty-fifty a 4 years onetime kid could create it.
We followed to Selfoss (16 Kms), looking for a house to eat. Considering that yous are inwards Iceland, it has a skilful offering of nutrient so, yous volition non convey whatever work to eat.
