Rainbows, waterfalls, steam and lobsters in Iceland

view in canyon

The weather on my final day in Iceland was a mixture of light rain, heavy rain, sideways rain, sleet, snow and everything in-between. A typical day in Iceland of course, which made short work of my basic ‘waterproof’ clothing… Lesson learned, next time I brought more suitable clothing with me! My faithful friend Albert was once again showing me around. We were going around a slightly altered version of the Golden Circle tourist lap.

Throughout Iceland you come across areas where there are streams have steam rising from the nearly boiling, sulphuric water running through them.
