Vi var jo som sagt på en "tour" som het Golden Circle. Den innebar et stopp ved Gullfoss, stedet hvor den nordamerikanske platen og eurasia-platen treffes, og Geysir. Hele området minnet veldig om Norge, og jeg ble kanskje ikke like imponert over Gullfoss som alle amerikanerne, men geysir var sååå kult. Plutselig bare eksploderer det litt. Nok snakk - bildene sier sitt.

Translation: As mentioned, we went on a tour on Monday, which was called the Golden Circle. It had three stops - tectonic plates, Gullfoss and Geysir. The whole area kinda looked like Norway, but it was so cool - especially geysir. That was my favorite. All of a sudden, they explode. Well, enough talk - check out these pictures.

En liten sniktitt på dagen igår! Siden det var min eneste hele dag her, dro vi på litt sightseeing. Vi var innom Blue lagoon og the Golden Circle, før vi endte kvelden på The Icelandic Bar - som er verdt et besøk! En av de beste burgerne noensinne.

Jeg har forresten kanskje glemt å fortelle dere hvem jeg er her med? Vertsfamilien min, fra jeg bodde i USA for snart fire år siden, er her en uke, og da jeg så jeg kunne ta tre dager fri fra jobb og fant billige flybilletter, måtte jeg bare gripe sjansen. Det er så koselig å se dem så mye som mulig, så jeg benytter hver mulighet..:-) Nå skal vi snart spise frokost og shoppe litt, før jeg drar hjem i ettermiddag. Ha en fin tirsdag!

Translation: a sneak peak from yesterday! Since it was my only full day here, we did some sightseeing. We stopped by the blue lagoon and the golden circle, before we ended the night at the Icelandic bar - which is worth a visit! One of the best burgers ever.

I might have forgotten to tell you why I'm here, by the way? My host family, from when I lived in the US almost four years ago, is here for a week, so when I saw I could take three days off work and the flight tickets were cheap, I just had to join them for a few days. I try to see them as much as possible, so this was the perfect opportunity..:-) I'm off for breakfast now, and some shopping, before I'm flying home tonight. Have a great Tuesday!

Jeg skulle vaske håret, pakke nøye, spise frokost og ha god tid før vi kjørte mot Gardermoen idag tidlig. Alarmen ringte ikke, så i stedet for våknet jeg da vi egentlig skulle kjørt. Kastet alle tingene i en bag, og løp ut. Jeg forsover meg aldri; det har skjedd så få ganger at jeg kan telle det på en hånd, men selvfølgelig måtte det skje idag. Jeg rakk det da - med god margin - og skal snart boarde. Klar for Island!

I farten glemte jeg (som blogger....) å pakke ned macen min. Hvordan er der mulig?! Heldigvis funker nouw-appen veldig bra, men jeg hadde så mange bilder å vise dere... Blant annet av dette superkule pass-coveret. Det er fra TGR og kostet 20 kr. Hurra for det!

Translation: I was gonna was my hair, pack thoroughly, have a good breakfast and lots of time before we were gonna drive to the airport, this morning. My alarm didn't go off, so instead, I woke up when we were supposed to leave. Threw my things in a bag and ran out. I never oversleep; I can count on one hand how many times it has happened, but of course it had to happen today. I made it, with lots of time, and now we're soon boarding. Ready for Iceland!

While I was stressing, I completely forgot my MacBook. How is that possible?! Thank goodness the app works fine, but I had so many pictures for you... Amongst others, pictures of this really cool passport cover. It's from TGR and was $3. Yay!
