We were supposed to be heading right back into Reykjavik, but our tour guide said we'd be making one more stop at a place not many people go to. We drove back to the first waterfall we'd visited that day, Saljalandsfoss. This time we drove past the main waterfall and further down the cliff past a couple smaller waterfalls until we reached a farmer's field. We got off and had to walk through the muddy field to the cliff. You could almost not see the w...

I still woke up fairly early, and so did the other girls. Because we had extra time before our afternoon tour, we wanted to go have a really good breakfast. There was a pancake place near our hostel that Erica wanted to try, but we were apparently awake too early because it wasn't open yet. So Lexi, Erica and I went for a walk down the main shopping/tourist street. I got a teacup and puffin keychains to bring home, Erica got a pretty necklace from a metalsmi...

The cavern below the falls is very deep and there's an enormous amount of water ...

Despite having a long day and late night the day before, we were all up fairly early. We had breakfast at the hotel, which was traditional buffet-style with cereal, yogurt and the sort. Erica really wanted to get a tattoo while we were in Iceland, which, would be really cool, so we set off that morning to go look for a tattoo place that might be able to take us. The places we found were all closed at that point, so we stopped in a couple shops just behind our ho...

The bus took us back to the bus depot by our hostel, and right across the street was somewhere we'd been thinking about going: The Penis Museum. Only one in the world. Of course we were going to go check it out. It's a huge collection of different types of animals penis's. A quite extensive collection, actually. It was almost weird taking pictures of them, or next to them. But hilarious and informative at the same time. We didn't stay too long i...
