My Travels - Iceland 1998 - 12.day

25.August 1998

At morning we packed all our things and gave them to the bus. We were going to left Reykjahlid. Our way continued with bus to Reykjavik. It had to be so long way and we had to reach Reykjavik at next day afternoon. To make the way more comfortable and not so bored, we stopped on interesting places. Near of lake Myvatn we visited Skutustathagigar where we saw nice pseudo-craters. Later, we stopped near of beautiful Godafoss waterfalls.

Longer break we made in Akureyri. Akureyri is the second largest city of Iceland. It is the biggest exporter of bananas in Europe. It is surprising fact, but when we saw big amount of glasshouses in city, we understood. All glasshouses are warmed with thermal water and in the most of them are growing banana's trees. We didn't visited any museums there. But we found very good shop with fishes. At last we had dinner in the local botanical garden. Near of the garden we had also our bus, and after short exhibition we continued to Reykjavik. At evening we also visited some open-air museum. I don't know, where it was, exactly. After this night last stop, I tried to sleep in bus, during seeing of video. I saw whole Dangerous Speed 2, but from Men in Black I saw only small parts and I slept in short time.
