Gullfoss, Geyser, Crystal Blue water, hike (Iceland day 3)

The day started off again with rain.  The first destination for the day was Gullfoss waterfall.  It was rainy and VERY windy when I got there.  Next was the geyser area.  It was a beautiful area and it was cool to be able to see the geyser go off several times.  While I was walking to the top view point I saw an area where the water was boiling like crazy from the ground.  It was interesting to see.  Then as I was driving I saw a bunch of cars parked in a parking lot (that had no signs indicating what it was) so I stopped the car and went for a walk.  It was a beautiful walk that led to very blue waters.  Then I continued on and saw really nice waterfalls.  It was a random stop with beautiful views.  The last destination of the day was a hike in the mountains.  At one point I had to cross a river by walking on a log and getting my feet in the water (which was super cold). After the hike I drove all the way back to Reykjavik.  It was a very very busy day!
