Land of the Vikings - Day 2

​
My cousin and I woke up at 6am and walked towards this house of gold (just like Twenty One Pilots haha). It was about 2 kilometers away and it was shiny gold with steam in the background. Turns out it was a green house with golden lights for tomatoes and cucumbers.

The steam was from the Secret Lagoon. The water was 100 C (about 365 F) and I so wanted to touch it, but I’m not ready to be put in a hospital for a daredevil idea. But to actually get to the lagoon we had to push a fence and walk in warm mud…really weird but cool.

We started heading back to the house cause it was getting to be around 7 and we knew the property owners would not like waking up to trespassers lol. I eat kiwi’s for breakfast cause they are the best fruits ever, then we go to a supermarket and totally raid the place (we didn't steal anything lol).

Now we’re heading for Pingvellir National Park, Sudurland, the Golden Circle, Rangarping Eystra, and Vik. The Pingvellir is where the 2 continental plates are drifting apart which fascinates me cause I did a huge report about that in Iceland a few years back. Sudurland was a famous geyser that spits water out every 5 minutes. The Golden Circle was beautiful! It’s so much cooler than Niagara falls tbh (even though I’ve never been lmao). Now Eystra is really cool when its sunny cause there’s a rainbow, but the rain just loves to follow me around.

I’m wearing jeans and I go right up to the waterfall and I get instantly soaking wet ugh! Its freezing cold water cause its fresh from a glacier. There’s these two British guys with a bro pro and they jump right into the water and got out of the water so fast lmao. Then once I was back in the car soaking wet and freezing we went to Vik!! Civilization yay!! That’s where I bought waterproof pants and my traditional Icelandic wool pullover at Ice Wear… Iceland is so creative with names jk.
