This foss was boss.

Up and at it bright and early because that Te & Kaffi chai latte was not going to drink itself!  The Lagoon Car Rental shuttle picked us up at 10:00 to take us to the rental office and right off the bat, the driver asked where we were from. No biggie, right?  Heather and I were blown away. No one has asked us that once. Nor has a Lagoon Car Rental employee cracked a smile. Well, turns out that was all just bad luck before.  This was a different office and they were amazing.  We did, however, see our previous guy from the license plate debacle and he refused to make eye contact.  

Nice Lagoon Employee #1 gave us an idea of where to go "as long as we were up for a hike".  She meant it. Our road trip took us to Gylmur, although the GPS was taking us to the Gylmur Hotel. No worries, because we spotted a sign that said "foss" in it somewhere and every good Icelander knows you have to stop for each and every foss.  (Foss is waterfall, in case a non-Icelander is reading this.)

The little hike was quite treacherous, including a cable and a log to cross a river. That was fantastic. We wondered where we ranked on the wimpiness scale, but we saw enough people with hiking sticks to feel validated.  And that's what it's all about. 

One of us fell a little bit, one of us fell a little bit harder, but neither of us saw either fall, so Even Steven.  We had our peanut butter and honey sandwiches at the top of Gylmur with a nice view of the foss, and eventually started the trek back. 

Flash forward a couple hours to our return to the parking lot when LO AND BEHOLD GUESS WHO WAS THERE?!  Our old friend, the Subaru. Missing license plate and all, poor thing.  (Identity crisis and all that.) 

We made it back to Reykjavik right when parking is free (6 pm)... Not a coincidence.  We had the best dinner tonight. We spotted a noodle house yesterday and more importantly spotted the "Trip Advisor Winner" sticker in the window, so we wanted to try it out. You guys. It was amazing. Almost as amazing was the fact that there is a crepe house right next to it (that's on tomorrow's menu, so standby).

Our last full day in Iceland tomorrow, so it's time to find one more hot spring, maybe a foss or two, and spend some serious leftover Krone coins!
