8/6 Len's Iceland text 4

Hi there everyone!   Stayed at a bed and breakfast last night. Woke up this morning to 3 degrees C and a driving cold rainstorm.  All of Iceland seemed two colors  today...grey and brown.  

Visited Dettifoss Falls. Biggest volume waterfall in all of Europe.  Had to wear rain gear all day. The water churned so fast it created heavy mist on the far banks and created their own waterfalls  

Then drove some northern peninsulas and finally discovered some hot springs in caves where we warmed up for hours.  Icelandic sweaters are around but there are so many better materials on the market they don't seem as popular.   Can you think of anyone who would wear  one?  Taran got a brown one.  He looks like a native!   

May go whale watching tomorrow in coastal town.  Funny but they don't allow whale to be on the menu there!  It's midnight and we can still see stuff in our tent.   Hope you are all good at home. 

Kind of a tough place here in Iceland but we like it.   Oh saw a thermal basin and a huge field of  black spatter cones. Very picturesque 

     So all for now.  We are hitting the hey and will probably sleep in tomorrow morning.   We love you all.  See you in about a week, love Len
