Kolmapäeval tuli juba kell 7 tõusta. Käisin pesus ja panin ennast valmis, sõin ning siis pakkisin koti. Läksime natuke enne 8t Martini tööjuurde ja peagi lahkusin mina, sest mul oli broneeritud üks ekskursioon Islandi peal. Selle nimi oli Grand Golden Circle. Võtsime veel paarist kohast inimesed peale aga see oli väike grupp, ainult 8 inimest koos minuga. Võtsime alguses suuna selle linnakese poole kus eile Martiniga lõpuks läbi tulime. Tegime korraks peatusse ja sõitsime edasi. Esimene peatus oli suur kraater. Tõesti oli massiivne. Aga väga ilus, omapärane. Sõitsime edasi ja peatusime ühe mega jõulise kose juures. Selle jõud tundub ikka väga meeletult suur olema, aga väidetavalt paar inimest kunagi aastaid tagasi võitlesid selle eest, et seda ei hakata hüdroelektrijaamana kasutama. Siiamaani on see täiesti looduslik ja ei kasutata ühelgi eesmärgil. Siis sõitsime meie suure peatus kohani, kus on üli suur geiser. Saab üles mäkke ronida ka, niiet seda me ka tegime. Siis see geiser ei tundunudki nii suur. Naljakas kuidas inimesed seisavad väga kannatlikult kõik ühes positsioonis seal geisri ääres, ootavad et see purskaks. See vahe on umbes 6-7 minutit. Selles grupis oli kolm nö. paari, ehk kaks naist koos ja siis olin mina ning üks Kanada neiu. Me siis kuidagi väga sujuvalt käisime koos kõikides kohtades ja jutustasime. Ta alustas märtsis reisimist ja käis läbi Türgi ja Maroko ja Kreeka ning nüüd on Islandil, sest tal oli lihtsalt võimalus siit läbi lennata. Türgis veetis 19 päeva ja käibki niiviisi üksinda rändamas. Täitsa põnev oli temaga! Peale geisrit peatus bussijuht teeääres ühes kohas kus oli palju hobuseid ning siis viis meid ühte piima farmi, kus tehti jäätist ja igasuguseid asju, palju lehmi jne. Kohvik oli ehitatud nii, et samal ajal kui sööd, näed kuidas lehmad laudas söövad. Kas pole mitte vahva! :D Kusjuures see jäätise koht ja hobhste koht polnud tegelt plaanis, ta heast tahtest viis. Martin ütles, et siis oli tegelt väga lahe!
Sealt edasi viis bussijuht meid ühe meeletult suure järveni ning samuti oli seal selline sein, mis tähistas seda, et me olime siis Euroopa tektooniliselt plaadilt maas ning jõudsime Ameerika tektoonilisele plaadile. Jällegi väga ilus vaade, lihtsalt suurepärane! Uhke, mida Emake Loodus meile pakub! Ja oligi kõik sõitsime koju ja visati meid maha sealt kus peale korjati. Korraks nägin Karlat, nemad läksid trenni ning mina istusin maha ja skypesin emme-issiga. Kirjutasin blogi ning tegelesin sellega. Kui poisid uuesti koju jõudsid, läksime linna peale kolama. Sain maitsta kuulsat hot dogi, mis oli natuke teistsugune, sest seal oli sibulat vorsti all ja eriline vorst oli ning nende oma mingisugused kastmed. Vot kui vahva! Käisime sõime friikaid ka ning tulimegi koju. Jutustasime ja rääkisin Nabeeliga ka ning tuligi uni!
Kallid!

On Wednesday I needed to wake up at 7 am already. Went to have a shower and got ready, had breakfast and packed my bag. We went a bit before 8 to Martin´s workplace. I wasn´t there for long because i needed to leave for a trip called Grand Golden Circle. It was a tour company doing it, we picked up couple of more tourists, but it was 8 in total, so not many and there we went. We stopped near that town we went to a day before and then drove more to mainland of Iceland. First proper stop was a big crater, then waterfall and then a big famous geyser. All of that took quite a long time but it was amazing everywhere. The landscape is something one of a kind. Iceland is so worth visiting because I have not seen anything like that before, maybe a bit like Hawaii Big Island, but still very different. I met one girl from Canada. She traveled to Turkey, Morocco and Greece and was on Iceland now. Awesome stories, though she said she did not feel that in danger, as you would expect. We were hanging together all day and it was awesome actually. The Geyser should be highlight of that trip but yea it was something different, but I enjoyed loads of other things. There was a big hill to hike up to near geyser and we did that with that Canadian girl. We saw the real Iceland horses and went to a farm where they make cheese and ice cream. Interesting cafe, where you see and windows are to the barn where cows are at. It wasn´t actually in our schedule, but since we were such a small group the driver just took us there. The trip ended near a massive lake with proper Mother Nature made walls. That meant that we were out from Europe and were in America. That´s how tectonic plates are. It was awesome. Breathtaking view once again. I was back home earlier than expected, but that was fine. I saw Karla real quick and they went to gym. I wrote my blog and skyped with mom and dad. When boys got back home we went to town. Had some famous hot dog and then went to have fries or chips how they call it. Talked with Nabeel and day over again!
Awesome! Isn´t it!
Love you!

You have added here very attractive images of the Grand golden circle tour. The Grand golden circle involves the three incredible locations like the Pingvellir National Park, the famous geysers called Geysir and Strokkur and the Gullfoss waterfall. There are beautiful scenic locations in South Iceland. Reykjavik is the most significant city in Iceland. The tours are arranged from the city.
