Rare scubacruiserx2 Posted July 19, 2019 Author #351 Share Posted July 19, 2019 We met our guide and driver , Bessa , and stopped not far away She scooped up some of the running water and we toasted the day , the place and each others company It was still foggy when we left Which way do we go ? Through the mountain of course When we exited the tunnel it was like Dorothy opening the door from inside the black and white house to look at the color of OZ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mjmagee Posted July 20, 2019 #359 Share Posted July 20, 2019 Thank you for your wonderful, comprehensive review. Love your pix and commentary. I also found the script font hard to read. I am also on an iPad but I am not sure that was the problem. Compared to the original font the script appeared smaller and fainter. Gray rather than black, which did make it harder to read. Either way, keep up the review! Iceland is on my bucket list and your review is only confirming that for me. Thx. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We had used our favorite font for a long time with no issues until October when CC made some upgrades . I guess it's different on phones and we saw a difference on DW's ipad . Another change that occurred in October is that my videos on my older topics change from the original to my most recently posted video on all of them - weird . We only have 1 stop left in Iceland , but it's an overnight . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare scubacruiserx2 Posted July 20, 2019 Author #365 Share Posted July 20, 2019 Thank you . We're happy that there's no issues with your device and the font . You have an advantage of seeing a larger photo with details also . Maybe I'll use 2 different fonts , one for computers and one for tablets . 😉 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare scubacruiserx2 Posted July 20, 2019 Author #366 Share Posted July 20, 2019 In the distance we could see Dynjandi It is a series of 6 waterfalls and the largest at the top being described as a wedding cake or a wedding veil The upper waterfall is about 100 M or about 300' . We could see that we would have a lot of glare and sunlight in our face that would reduce the quality of the photos . We left Bessa in the parking lot to begin our climb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare scubacruiserx2 Posted July 20, 2019 Author #369 Share Posted July 20, 2019 More waterfalls and climbing ahead The lower flatter part had handrails It was about this point that we encountered the Midges small swarming bugs that flew into your eyes , ears and nostrils . So far , so good with the climb . Please note the difference in the sky and the colors in the photos when we look up toward the water fall or back toward the valley and parking lot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare scubacruiserx2 Posted July 20, 2019 Author #370 Share Posted July 20, 2019 It was also at this point that the climb became steeper and that buses from the cruise ship arrived Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare scubacruiserx2 Posted July 20, 2019 Author #371 Share Posted July 20, 2019 (edited) Our knees and the groups of people pushing past us on the steep , scree covered trail told us that this should be our turn around point Pondering the descent and enjoying the view As we were going down and a group going up you can see a head net on the first guy and some midges on the camera lens in this video : Almost there , we can see the bathrooms on the left Edited July 20, 2019 by scubacruiserx2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare scubacruiserx2 Posted July 20, 2019 Author #374 Share Posted July 20, 2019 We had reached our turnaround point Our next stop was a museum at Hrafnseyri which Pat and I walked thru alone It was basically a time line showing World History with Icelandic History interwoven Toward the end we could hear some talking and singing And as it turned out , we were there on the 17th of June Which is the birthday of Jón Sigurðsson , the leader of Iceland's move to independence from Denmark . This is also his birthplace and the day is Icelandic National Day ( Independence Day ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare scubacruiserx2 Posted July 20, 2019 Author #375 Share Posted July 20, 2019 We were invited into the turf roof buildings and to have some of the celebratory birthday cake Marzpan cake with strawberry cream The best desert of the entire trip The church dates back to 1886 They also had Icelandic Horses for the kids to ride It's hard to imagine a more scenic area to celebrate their 75 th Anniversary of Independence 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
