There is one problem for sleeping here is that it is never get dark.I woke up at five in the morning but thought it was already ten. The weather was good,sun was shining,because it was weekend,everywhere was so quiet.
Got some bread from an Icelandic backery store,drove the car away from the city,we started our Iceland nature journey today!
Well, roads outside the city was getting to be "bad", on the moutain road car can not drive faster than 50km/h. But the moutain road is quiet, no other cars,only us on the road around the moutain.Suddenly felt myself is so small here inside the moutains. Some feelings is strange,can not really describe it good in words.
About an hour, we reached the first place-Lake Kleifarvatn.It is just a lake,but for me it is so big and surrounded by all the moutains. Sky is so blue and also the water,blue and very clear.No noise,no other people,no trees....Just the moutains,the lake and us! Trying to climb one of the small hill, some typical lava field grass and flowers on the hill with some huge bees! I never can imagine that the rocks and the water can be so good to match each other.The rock moutains looks so hard and unmovable,but the lake looks so soft and sometimes moves with the winds! Nature made things match each other so well!
The lake
Further on led by the "rotten egg" smell, we arrived one of the geyser area-Seltun. White smokes came from the area and water looked so hot and kept boiling itself. But I have to say the smell was rather strong. So we did not stay too long!
Geyser
Along the road, we could reach to the seaside. No beautiful beach but rocks. Some strange shaped stones on the seaside,did not know if it was humanmade or formed by nature. But I was sure that this area was the seagull's paradise, all the rocks are "white" because of them.
Weather changed so quick, it was raining and wind near the sea. So we decided to enjoy the hot spring today. The blue lagoon- the most famous hot spring bath place in iceland. Well,quite much people there but most are like us-tourists. They still use the nature heating system but with 70% sea water and 30% normal water. So mainly we were bathing in the hot salty water and also put some of the mud on the face( they said it was a good mask for skin). The water was warm made me relax. I was in my paradise then!
Blue lagoon
Ok, the day was quite long and to have a good end for it,we went to a good fish restaurant in the city, and I had some strange flat fish with soft bones. Well, in the new place I adjusted myself to eat new things....[to be continued]
