We made it to the Golden Circle. A night indoors with laundry was really nice. The main focus for the day was Whitewater Rafting. We filled the rest of the the day with obligatory Golden Circle sites that had to be seen. Day 5 included:
Gullfoss ("Golden Falls")
Drumboddsstaðir -Drumbó River Base - White water rafting
Lunch at Efstidalur II - barn café
Faxafoss - waterfall hike
Geysir - thermal springs and geysers
Most of our crew have gone whitewater rafting in the past, but not in Iceland. Running glacial whitewater rapids while surrounded by wild rock formation for the land of Fire and Ice was pretty thrilling.
