We woke up at 8 o'clock, personally a little later because I didn't sleep very well that night because of my roommate snores. After having a breakfast and a quick shower we set our feet in to the bus. Atleast most of us were excited about the upcoming trip. The seat belts were fastened in the bus at little past 9 am.
During the way to Mývatn -lake our "personal guide" Jónas taught us many things about Iceland and showed a couple examples. For example most of the deaths happened because of the nature in Iceland are not because of vulcanity or eruptions, but because of the avalanches(if you don't know the word, it's "lumivyöry" in Finnish).
We visited lots of places before going to Mývatn nature bath which was maybe the best experience in Iceland yet. Especially at our first stop, Godafoss waterfall, we took some awesome pictures as you might see below. After seeing the waterfall we saw quite a lot of places like Dimmuborgir lavaformations, geothermal mud and Skutustadir craters where our bus driver drifted on a nearby frozen lake. :D We even saw a part of Jónas' life when he showed us his former home, a sheepfarm, where he lived when he was young and a cave where he used to swim in the hot water until the water temperature warmed up a couple degrees, making it too hot to swim at.
With all the nature wonders around us we truly realized how beautiful place Iceland really is.
The nature bath was the highlight of the whole trip. The +40celsius baths were very relaxing after a long day.
In the evening we went to a fine restaurant to have some pizza(again) and some other traditional dishes. After the meal a part of our group went to hang out and have fun on the streets with some of our hosts, while rest of the group went back to our guesthouse Gula Villan. -Ale
