We left the Hotel Hofnarfjall after breakfast and drove to the Golden Circle. Stopped at Thingvellir National Park and didn't stay in the park that long. We stopped to see Bruarfoss waterfall (very pretty blue water) and Gulfoss waterfall- the largest in Iceland and so awesome! The sun was hiding so we did not see a rainbow. The size of the waterfall and the amount of water coming down was amazing.

We then went to the Geysir area and watched the Strokker geyser blow- really short and quick compared to Old Faithful in Yellowstone. Walked around the mudpots, etc. Lots of tourist buses and people were there.
We went to the Fridheimar Tomato Farm (huge greenhouses full of tomatoes and other veggies). We couldn't get into the restaurant so we sat outside of the bistro and had wine with homemade tomato soup and bread. Wonderful! The sun was mostly out but it was cool sitting outside.
We stopped at Kerid Crater and walked around the top of it. Then we went through Selfoss to Brautarholt where we self-checked into our South Central Apartment. Very nice new place which had a little kitchenette and great bed and bathroom. After a short rest we went to find a restaurant which was not easy since we were about 16 miles from Selfoss. Saw a full rainbow on the way, and ended up at the Minilik Ethiopian Restaurant in Fludir. Ate a delicious plate of seared lamb, rice and veggies on soft pita bread which we ate with our hands. We stopped at the local grocery for breakfast items, then back to the apartment to sleep.
