Iceland-Waterfalls, October 23, 2022
Sunday, October 23, 2022 The Ring Road-Waterfalls, Lava Centre, Black Sand Beach and Glaciers Selfoss We're up early at our hotel in Selfoss. Hótel Selfossi offers views of Ölfusá and Ingólfsfjall.

It's a bit chilly and foggy but we're all hoping the day will clear up for us. Urriðafoss Our first stop is to Urriðafoss , which means sea trout waterfall. On the river Þjórsá in southwest Iceland.

It's a bit slippery, especially where new tarmac has been put down so we cautiously walk on the edges of the pathway, enjoying the early morning light on the river. Back in the van and we're heading to the Lava Centre. We can see Eyjafjall...
