The ironman of travel Yoshimasa Ikeuchi

I found a dandelion on the cliff and tried to approach it, but my legs did not come out. Crawling to the edge of the cliff. A commemorative piece fits in the film. The highlight is the open-air bath run by a restaurant in Myvatn. It is also a mixed bath (wearing a swimsuit) (1500, yen discount for 67 years old and over)　

After a long absence, I went to a hot spring, and the tiredness of my trip flowed into the hot spring. "Cheers" with a glass of beer to drink after the bath. The liquid that rubs your dry throat and tastes goes straight to your stomach. "Umm delicious" Tap water is even more delicious. There is no place in the world where you can drink mineral water that has been filtered by lava and is 1000 years old. A warm bath from the heart of my body makes me feel like a dream.

The wives search for a T-shirt with a commemorative aurora design. It's a big difference if you think you'll see the aurora in the cold. Here in Iceland, it is unlikely that the temperature will be negative even in winter due to the warm current of Mexico. We are excited to see the northern lights in the middle of winter.

Godafoss Waterfall named God’ Waterfall. I can see it for a while in a wonderful waterfall. You can also peep into the waterfall basin from the top of the rocky mountain. In Japan, a rope in the exclusion zone will be stretched. Everything is at your own risk. Some people are impressed by the spectacular waterfall with no fences and the best in the world.

Fortunately, the sun is shining and the flowers begin to shine. Bees also fly around in search of honey. It's my first experience at a botanical garden in the early morning. The guide said, "Please relax" when you see us flying from flower to flower far beyond the scheduled time. I will adjust the time later.

45 minutes by air travel from Reykjavik. The spectacular view from the sky overlooking the glacier is also early in the morning, so I fall asleep on the plane. It's a pity that I missed the chance to take a picture. I'm sorry to lose that I can't beat aging. The botanical garden I visited opens at 8 am. Besides, I am happy that the entrance fee is free.

This is the first time for a blue hot spring! Japanese people like hot springs are famous. The temperature is a little lukewarm (35 ℃ -39 ℃). Looking for the right temperature, wandering around the hot springs. Gravel is spread at your feet. Hot springs that contain silicon are smooth and gentle on the skin.

Akureyri is the second largest town in Iceland. The old houses 200 years ago (1800s) have been well preserved and are still used as houses. The center of the town is only a few tens of meters, but there are colorful houses.

Other tourists also came. The quiet garden suddenly becomes lively, and the flowers are booming. A group from New York "Japanese? Where are you from?" "From Kobe" "Kobe beef" Unfortunately, I head to the next planned site.

The management of the park is done by a part-time job of junior and senior high school students. By the way, even in the Faroe Islands, I saw many young people in the early morning cleaning car. Flowers collected from all over the world. Bright colors. Eyes shine on varieties that I have never seen. The walking path is not decided and you can act freely.
