July 6

The next day was also wet. Few details needed. Just  note that Oliver, the only man in the group, is wearing the piece of equipment we didn’t hear about, the bug net.

We stayed that night in Geysir—yes, it gave the world that word — we visited the world’s second and fourth-largest hot-water spouts. Sadly, I forgot my camera when I walked over there from our guesthouse, but here is Louise across the road from them. The biggest, which rarely spouts, can go up to 80 meters, but another goes up to 25 meters every 5 minutes or so.
