We spent a day in Iceland touring the Golden Circle, which includes the oldest Parliament in the world called Thingvellir (founded by Vikings), an amazing waterfall called Gulfoss, and the world's most reliable geyser.
This is apparently the president of Iceland's (?) summer home.
You're technically not supposed to throw coins in the water, but it is supposed to bring you good luck, and so thousands of coins are dropped to the bottom. We were entranced by the treasure trove.
Alban jumped out to this island in an attempt to retrieve some of the treasure, but alas, he couldn't reach any.
Gulfoss: an immense waterfall, made more impressive by the frozen mist that clings to the walls of the rocks. These pictures don't show how huge it actually is. It was quite icy and a bit dangerous in places.
These are pictures of the geyser field. The world's most reliable geyser erupts here approximately every 3 minutes. We saw it blow about 4 times.
This is a huge volcanic crater where apparently Bjork performed a concert a few years ago. It's quite deep and steep.

Wow What Great Pictures you have taken. That is the biggest Chia pet I've ever seen. I loved looking through Your Ireland Pictures too.
