Last weekend, we were invited by friends to a "Summerhouse". A summerhouse is basically a house in a non-urban area outside of Reykjavík, with a distinct 'wooden' look, and includes all standard amenities such as a working kitchen, a TV... And a hot tub! Many people own such homes, but work unions also do, and they rent them out to union members for cheap.
We enjoyed the stay very much, and socialized and soaked in the hot tub at night for a couple of hours while the snow was falling softly on us. Classic Icelandic stuff :).
On our way back, we decided to stop by Gullfoss since it was quite close to the summerhouse. It looked quite nice, with the snow and ice on the sides. As you can see from the rest of the pictures, the dominant color here is white. That's because it's been snowing quite a bit this winter, and we're getting a bit tired from that... Anyway, on to the pictures:
Maybe I should Photoshop these tourists out...
Closer
And even closer
A very bundled up Jó
I could make this my secret lair
Snow covered lava fields
The sun managed to pierce through the cloud cover at times
Lots of horses
The wind was pushing the snow over the road, making for a cool effect
Reminds me of a chocolate cake covered in powdered sugar...
