Lots Done in Short Time

For Preparation Day we took a short trip close to home and yet saw many new and interesting sites. First was the Hellisheiði Geothermal Power Plant. We have driven by it too many times to count as we can see it every time we go to Reykjavík. They have some interesting displays on their electricity and hot water (used for heat and domestic how water) production from geothermal resources. We then stopped at a waterfalls call Troll Falls which was a good hike to get to it. Next we went so the Halldór Laxness Museum and took a tour of his home (the museum). We finished the day with another hike to another waterfalls. The Jaguar sits in front of the house like a trade mark. The house was built in 1945. The pool is a lap pool with a beautiful setting. Systir Bremner had to buy one of his books which will be in an upcoming post. All in all we had quite the trip in less than 6 hours total time.
