Tom & Robin in Iceland



Well, we made it. It looks like moonscape here. We did the Gold Circle tour by car yesterday and saw a lot of volcanic rocks. And geysers and a waterfall. And a few sheep. Oh, and did I mention the rocks? The temp was about 45 with a 40mph wind. Brrrrr. We ate at Hotel Geysir at a buffet with food we didn't recognize. OK, I could identify the pickeled herring. We thought we saw a tree, but we were mistaken. Oh, yes, and the rocks. Yes, we saw fire and ice too. How about a glacier in the background of an erupting geyser. And surrounded by volcanos. Prices here are very very high. But we've always wanted to come here. I'm not sure now I can figure out why.

Did you see any rocks?

Ooooops! Did I forget to mention the rocks? Nearly all were volcantic and some are covered with lichen. We also saw channels in the rocks which were part of the Atlantic rift. We arrived safe and sound in Denmark today and have been joined by Marleen & Bob.
