Iceland - is very nice

We made it to Iceland! It was easy enough to get our bags, rent a car and grab some chocolate and wine from the duty free where it is supposedly much cheaper than in town. We stopped on the way into Reykjavik at the grocery store for some supplies for the next few days as we didn't really know what groceries would be like along the way. Even though the capital city houses half of the countries population, it only has about 120,000 residences. We easily found out hostel and less easily a place to park and headed out to explore the downtown.
I now have this theory that hipsters originated in Iceland, I mean if you are born and live in Iceland you are already obscure as there are only 300,000 of you in the world! They have amazing music, intersting names, all the men have beards, and everyone wears those vintage wool sweaters.

 The following day we headed out to Gullfoss, Geysir, and Thingvellir Park for some snokelling (amazing but really cold) along two contential plates of Eurasia and North America. We didnt plan super well so we did alot of driving back and forth but the landscape is so interesting it didn't really matter.

One thing there is never a shortage of..waterfalls! We saw too many too count.

Geysir to our surprise was not just one Geysir but a group of them varying in size and timing of when they erupt from minutes to years.
