Day 4: Daisy Oliver

This morning after waking up at 7 o'clock and reluctantly getting out of bed, we went to breakfast which had a variety of yummy food. We then got on the bus and headed for Dverghamrar it took a quick 5 min walk from the road to get to the  stone columns (Dverghamrar). Deverghamrar means dwarf cliffs and our guide Dave told us that in Iceland the people believe in folk law and that the columns housed elves, dwarfs and other supernatural being.

After Dave told us about the folk law and stories we were allowed to climb up to the top we got some great pictures. We then got back on the bus and went to this place where a broken bit of bridge from a really big flood was placed ,the flood took place on the 5th November 1996. The flood took out most of the bridge and destroyed many more buildings and land. From there we went to a national park and went for a really long walk, it took ages to get to the top but once we were there we had a spectacular view well worth the wait we could see a glacier and many mountains in the distance. Once all the pictures had been taken we had the long walk down. The highlight of the day for me was the boat trip to the ice lagoon it was so cool, we even got to see a iceberg flip. The guide on board had a small iceberg which we all got to hold, he told us that it was over 100 years old.

It was amazing there were a variety of different sizes some were huge but others were tiny. After that we had a short trip to the beach there we icebergs all over the black sandy beach it was so strange unlike any of the beaches back home, we got so many pictures sitting on the freezing icebergs, soon the waves strand coming in and we all ended up getting our shoes soaking wet. After an enjoyable day we all got on the bus and head for hotel Laki.
