KA-CHUNG KA-CHUNG KA-CHUNG!!
That was the sound that kept repeating in our hotel room this morning after we had a solid two hours of sleep. It sounded like someone was banging on our wall with a pipe and there was no stopping it. After calling the front desk it managed to fade away, only to return again an hour later. This continued for the rest of the night until our alarm went off. We felt like the walking dead as we made our way to the front desk to ask for a new room. Luckily they could switch us so we went about our regularly scheduled day like a couple of champs.
The next stop on the tour was the Gullfoss Waterfall. This is where our day started to turn around. The sun finally made an appearance so we ended up taking a lot of beautiful pictures:
We even managed to make it back to the Geyser and get a video of the event against a blue sky. It was at this point that we realized that we could have called off the trip, stayed in bed, yelled at the hotel staff, or any combination of the above. Instead we sucked it up, acted like calm human beings and were rewarded with a beautiful day. By mid-day we were awake, happy, and had all but forgotten the sound of KA-CHUNG, KA-CHUNG, KA-CHUNG.
That’s all for now, time to get a good night’s rest in a room on the other side of the hotel…
