iceland, day 09 (0 comments)
another day dedicated to covering distance. so there are only two highlights for today (although the landscapes are an on lasting highlight every kilometre you drive further around this great country). first one was dettifoss[02-24]. dettifoss is the biggest waterfall in europe (in terms of volume discharge), and the waterfall is around 100 metres in length and the water falls down for approximately 44 metres. again there's so much spray everywhere and it's so loud and impressive. dettifoss is also famous for the double rainbows[11,13-14,17-20] due to the plume of spray. we were lucky and the sun came out for a few minutes, so we could witness the double rainbow.
then we drove on and had to go over some high pass. we got pretty near to snowfields. as i wanted to have a snowball fight with ninsti from the first day on, this was the perfect chance. so we stopped in the middle of nowhere[31,35] and headed towards a small snowfield. but it was big enough to have loads of snowball fun[32-34] - yippieh! just for the record: ninsti won, but only because she was a little sick, so i was gentle and did not rub snow in her face. well... but she did. of course.
later that day we arrived in seyðisfjörður, a small bay with a bigger harbour. at the hostel we got the last free room, as there just arrived a ferry. puh, lucky us. we rarely have seen so many people in one hostel. pretty unusual.
