As the wind howled across the Icelandic plains, it was time for the fourth day. We first headed to the
Secret Lagoon, a swimming pool fed by natural springs. It was first used in the 1800's and had recently been reopened to the public. It was a great way to wake up with the outside temperature hovering around 3 degrees. It was a contrast to the Blue Lagoon and we had great fun attempting to stay inside the hottest areas of the pool, which is also fed by a geyser.
Next it was off on the most popular tourist route in Iceland: the Golden Circle. This took in Gulfoss, a massive waterfall; Geyser with it's erupting hot springs and Thingvellir National Park where the European and North American continental plates meet. We made sure that there was time for ice cream too!
Then we headed to the country's capital: Reykjavik for a posh meal and a walk along the harbour at sunset.
