Breakfast was again pretty basic, but fine. I could do with some bacon and egg though!

We went to a bread making place, we followed a 45-50 year old man, who led us through a narrow path to a lake, where people were kayaking on the lake. He stood next to a small mountain of dirt, and he chose me to dig the bread up, he gave me a big spade and I started to dig. I found the bread, he took the pot of bread out of the hole and put it into the lake and washed it. He opened it then in a few seconds, we could smell the bread then after that we went to the hole again and we decided to dig down to the pool of boiling hot water.

We saw it bubbling up and down then we put the new bread in the hole and covered it up with the dirt, we made the mountain again then I placed the stone on top the mountain and claimed the bread as mine. We went back to the building and then we tried the bread and with butter and trout on top. It was very nice.

After that session we headed straight for the pool. Mummy and I went into a different passage, to get changed, to Daddy and William. Once I was changed, I was ready to jump (well step) into the pool.

The first one I went into had these black, plastic obstacle things in (this was probably my favourite pool). Next I went into a pool that looked like a mini swimming pool (about 5 meters). The 3rd pool was really strange as there was stones/gravel on the floor. Finally there was the 4th pool which was boiling and was round like a hot tub. I also did a challenge so William and I could get a slushie. The challenge was submerging myself into a freezing cold lake!

Overall I enjoyed my time in the pools and I think Mummy, Daddy and William liked it too.

We left the hot pools and travelled the 30 minutes to Gullfoss. Li and I have been before, but it’s still worth going to. On arrival the first thing we noticed, as it was hard not to, was an enormous bus with enormous wheels!

Onto the waterfall itself, and it remains as before, pretty spectacular. We couldn’t walk much around as some of the path was closed, but we still were able to get great views.

Leaving Gullfoss, we headed for the geothermal area where the eruptions occur quite regularly in a geyser named Strokkur. We did have to wait for it a little, but eventually it came good and demonstrated the awesome power of nature.
