Skogafoss Waterfall
Day 2
Started the day with an eggy scented shower followed by gathering our pack lunch ready for the glacier walk. First stop was the Skogafoss wwaterfall which was beautiful. We then went to the Eyjafjallajokull floodplain and were fortunate enough to see the crater. The highlight of the day was the glacier walk. We were shown how to use crampons and ice picks and then we went onto the glacier were we got to see many glacial features. IT WAS GREAT!!!!
Had a fantastic first day in Iceland. We went to the Blue lagoon and will all come back looking even more beautiful after our volcanic facials. Topped the evening off with a hearty meal at the Viking Village. Lots more to see and do. Will try to upload pics later. Off on a glacier walk now...Hope you are all well!
