Going on a quest



The first map of Iceland (circa 1000)

Today we're leaving on a weekend trip to Reykjavík. There's 10 of us going so we fit perfectly into two cars. It's amazing that renting cars for three days (including gas) is actually cheaper than going by bus or a plane. And the price gap is huge!

Our intension is to travel popular tourist route called Golden Circle. The three main stops are national park þinvellir, the waterfall Gullfoss and geysers Geysir (dah) and Strokkur which are both in the geothermally active valley of Haukadalur. Naturally we're also going to familiarize ourselfs with the capital city and it's nightlife.

The latest weather report shows that there is a storm coming into western parts of Iceland. When I look at the map I think the storm is the least of our concerns :)
