Gunnuhver

Our very first full day back in Iceland, we visited the house in Stokkseyri that we´re buying in on - cute and charming and such a nice place to have a little home - and had grilled lamb and all the yummy fixins.

The next day was quieter and we had caught up on some much-needed rest and by the time we were going to get moving it was already noon.  B asked me what I wanted to do, and I didn´t really want to go far, so we decided to hit the Reykjanes peninsula which is where the other pictures have been so far.

My favorite part of the Reykjanes peninsula is Gunnuhver, which is the very very active geothermal area not too far from where the base was. The base where they had just pumped lots and lots of my taxpayer money just to close it down, nice!

At any rate, part of Gunnuhver was closed off because it is so active that the wooden walkways were too hot to walk on but we walked around the other areas and the kids got as much of a kick out of it as I did. The sights, the sounds, the smells were all very exciting.
