The day started off great with the really nice harbor master offering
me some coffee for the road. I normally don't drink coffee, but since I
knew I was going to have to drive a lot a day I took him up on his
offer. The first destination of the day was to find a natural hot
spring. I had been wanting to go to the pools or natural hot spring
from the first moment I landed in Iceland. It was my last day and I was
determined to find a natural hot spring. The harbor master told me
where to go, so I followed his directions. Finally I had found my
natural hot spring. The area consisted of 3 small pools. There were a
couple other people in the area, but no one had gone in yet. It was a
bit cold, but I wanted to be in the warm waters. It was very relaxing.
Then we went to Arkanes, a small town by the coast. It was lovely to
walk around and the area at the light house was pretty nice to walk
around. The blue skies made everything so much better. Then the last
stop of the day was the hot water river. The hike over an hour just to
get to the location. It was a cool place, but it rained the whole time
we hiked there, while we were there and on the way back. Unfortunately
we were all super cold, wet and tired. However, the day was awesome! I
ended it with a nice drive around and got to see the President's
house. My stay in Iceland was wonderful! I met some great people and
saw lots of beautiful sights. It was a nice way to hit my 100
countries goal!
