In the morning we rented ATVS and spent 8 hrs driving. We went through all kinds of terrain including beaches, sand dunes, mountain tops, and the open road too. I was very impressed how Taran drove, like a real professional.
We saw where the Great Rift in Iceland is. It separates more every year. One side of the bridge rift belongs to Europe, the other side North America. Thats why its so volcanic here.
It rained a lot during the day but seemed to make the mountains and clouds stand out even more beautifully. We had rain gear and helmets with visits so no problem. I swear at times we were driving motorboats, because the puddles were as long and deep as a river.
Stopped half way through the day and had some famous Icelandic lobster stew perhaps the best we ever tasted! The ATV's were fast. We passed the local traffic a few times. Mostly it was really fun.
Then we went out for supper to the Lava Restaurant at the Blue Lagoon. The Lagoon is the Grandaddy of all thermal pools. At least two football fields with volcanic rock around the sides. The water is bright blue because of all the silicate in it, and it is salt water. There is a sorriociss clinic there, as the water is apparently very medicinal.
My hair was spiked up like a porcupine this morning. Taran said his skin felt rejuvinated. We must be new men! Ha. Stayed in there for two or three hrs. Forgot all about the aches and pains from the ride.
Winding down. In Reykjavik today. Tomorrow maybe a horse ride to an old lighthouse. Then we will see you. Miss home and all you guys. Love Len and Taran
