Iceland Day 6 - MyVatn - Viti - GodaFoss - Akureyri - Daeli
It was a cloudy day again .Did not know what to do.Headed to the visitor center and grabbed some maps and hiked up the Hverfjall crater.
As the clouds started to clear away , we could see smokey lands far away.
We met this cute Chinese couple on the way down from the Hverfjall crater.
Had Icelandic brown bread for breakfast .
I recollect a very funny story here .Went to the restroom and on my way out saw a man crawl out of the men's toilet so that he does not have to pay.I was still trying to figure out why the man was crawling when he looked up at me and with an awkward embarrassing smile ran out of my sight.
Next stop at Dimmiborgum lava formations.Walking through these beautiful formations reaaly makes you wonder how powerful nature is .
Natural hot spring , but this one is not for bathing .
The psuedo craters at SkitustOagigar- they are formed due to explosion caused when hot molten lava plunges into the ocean
Winding roads in between the red mountains.
Hevrir has lot of geothermal activity and this was the place which we named as smoking land earlier.
Fumaroles
And as we drives towards Viti crater we see Ice on the mountains
Geothermal power plant .90% of Iceland's electricity is generated from geothermal power plant.
Went inside the facility to look for washroom .Found one ,but jammed the door while inside it.A man heard my knocking and thus saved my frightened soul.
Viti Crater
The mighty GodaFoss
We found a sign - WC - Then an arrow pointing a trail- 700m ahead.
On our way to Vatnsnes peninsula
Akureyri - The second largest town in Iceland after Reykjavik.
In the town of Varmahild.
Blonduos church
On the road , you will find very user friendly sign like this , which will tell you there is food , campground or shops ahead.
We checked the sign , crossed the bridged and reached the farm of Daeli.Camped there for the night.
All my stone collections during the trip .
