Iceland :: Part 2

Most of our Iceland plans ran smoothly and gave us some random pleasant surprises. This post is comprised of some of these pleasantries.

Oxararfoss
This was a waterfall in the middle of Pingvellir National park. To get to it, we walked through Almannagjá Canyon that had a lot of history in it. It is were the Vikings would hold their Parliament sessions and then later it was used as a public display to hang and drown criminals. It was equally gorgeous and haunted.




Bruarfoss
This was not a waterfall flowing of water...
it was definitely the source of Powerade's Mountain Berry Blast drink.
It is unbelievably blue. 






Gullfoss
Gullfoss was straight up impressive. It wasn't necessarily beautiful like Glymur falls but it was powerful and magnificent in its power. It is difficult to describe as it took us a while to figure out our own emotions while we were there. The other thing we spent the majority of our time here discussing was which side of the waterfall we would rather fall down if we were caught in it. We came to no conclusion. My vote was for the right side.





Haìfoss
Haifoss was a waterfall that was on our list but later neglected. Then Chris and Liz as pilot and co-pilot at the time decided we had time to hit it. For the majority of our time we were the only ones there and we ate it up. The 11pm sunset golden (3) hour(s) lit up the mist and the mossy rocks and Haifoss became a magical surprise.













Dusty. What a rockstar.
