The Golden Circle Tour

We took an eight hour bus tour called the Golden Circle Tour. We are done with the tour and I am still not sure where it got it's name.
The first stop was a huge green house where they grow the tomatoes for the Island. Because it so dark, cold and windy most of the produce with the exception of potatoes has to be grown inside.

We had a cup of fresh tomato soup and learned more about tomatoes than we cared to know.


 Then we went to a waterfall where we near about froze our faces off. Sean was not enjoying this.



 We went to their famous geyser park. If I hadn't been to Yellowstone it might have been cool. But compared to Yellowstone it was uneventful.

Lots of Icelanders believe in fairies and trolls. They believe that they live in the lava rocks all over the country. They even have fairy lobbyist who fight for the rights of the fairy's in courts and try to protect their living areas.
After our tour finished we took the city bus back downtown for dinner. Sean was being silly while we waited for the bus.
