The word Geyser comes from Icelandic, the first documented geyser, was named Geyser and is in Iceland. I have not been to Yellowstone, I saw my first geyser in Iceland last spring.
Geyser rarely erupts, but the one next to it erupts every 8 to 15 minutes. Not quite set your watch by it, but often enough that you can stand around and watch. We did. I found it fabulous.
There is an amazing hotel across the street from Geyser, the next time I want to stay there. They have massive four wheel drive tundra tours from there, I want to ride one of those. They look amazing.
There are many things left to see. IcelandAir has first class, off season fares of $999 round trip. I can't do it this fall, but spring will be here before we know it.
That's a great fare to Iceland. Cheaper than from Spain. I sat on a bench in the rain to see Old Faithful in the '80s. A moment before it was due, a nearby small geyser erupted and took all the oomph from Old Faithful. It was kind of funny.
ReplyDeleteThe coach fare was $399 on the fall sale, my calendar is kind of full
DeleteI've always wanted to see a geyser erupt or at least the Steam coming out. I know what you're thinking, haven't I already seen a geyser erupt?
ReplyDeleteI bet you have seen something erupt.
DeleteThar he blows!
DeleteTundra buggies! Definitely go again!
ReplyDeleteLooks like fun
DeleteI've never seen a geyser, but I have been to a Five Guys does that count?

If you eat enough of those greasy fries
DeleteFrom all the photos I've seen, Iceland must be a wonderful place to visit.
ReplyDeleteA volcanic island in the north Atlantic, hard to go wrong
DeleteThat tundra ride sounds wonderful ... and $999 first class??? Yes.
ReplyDeleteI could have sworn that I responded to this yesterday, about loving the idea of the tundra ride.
ReplyDeleteMaybe I am being afflicted by the older age of your Saturday post and just "thought" I'd posted.
Absolutely fabulous.
