It's our last day and we are all feeling a bit sad this is the end of our trip. The rain has not left us…
We started our day at 9AM at the Gullfoss waterfall. There is no one there to see it in the rain, and there is zero chance we will catch a rainbow over the golden waterfall, but it's still very beautiful.
We then moved on to the Geysir site which was more crowded but big enough for everyone, and we wandered the site for quite a long time wading through the red mud which was a true delight! We made a final stop at Kerið, a beautiful crater with a small blue lake at the bottom known as a maar.
The itinerary ends in Reykjavík where, after leaving our luggage at the guesthouse, we can enjoy a nice walk through the streets of the capital. As the weather remains decidedly discouraging we decide to a way to warm up in a pleasant bar around a meal and a beer.
The trip to the airport the next day is emotional, but we go home carrying wonderful memories and all sorts of magnificent photos, and we are already planning our next trip to Iceland!
