20 August 2012 - the adventure begins
Þhingvellir National Park, Reykjavik
 |
The Red Beret enjoying mountain scenery. |
 |
Apparently it was always illegal to burn women in Iceland, so during the witch scare, "witches" were drowned here instead. |
 |
Volcanic rock. |
 |
All the silver shining through the water is money that has been thrown in. Make a wish. |
 |
Volcanic rock that dried from the top first, so the molten under-layer made it form wrinkles as it hardened. |

|
Summer House
but really, just a place that you live...where you don't live most of the time. not necessarily just in the summer.
 |
Apparently it's common to have a window in the summer house that faces the volcano, if there is one in viewing distance. The closer you are to the volcano, the bigger your window. |
