# My final day on Iceland’s Ring Road - Link: https://mywalkabout.net/my-final-day-on-icelands-ring-road/ - Published: 2024-01-06T06:57:11-07:00 - Author: My Walkabout #### **I leave Gulfoss waterfall,** and wonder how I can fill the time on my final day until I fly out of domestic Reykjavík airport this evening. I decide on just driving out to the Rekjanes Peninsula and see what I stumble upon. #### [the_ad_group id=”589488956″]⏎ **No more than ten minutes later**, I find myself back at the Geysir area that I had explored the prior day. I had no idea Gulfoss was so close by, but with it being a rainy and cold morning, hardly anyone was here. It was the perfect time to go more closely explore the cold steam geysir that predictably erupts every 10 or so minutes. I enjoyed quite a few eruptions, even becoming showered in a cold spray! ![](https://i0.wp.com/mywalkabout.net/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/GX016340-1.jpg? resize=640%2C360&ssl=1) #### **Leaving the Geysir area** to the tundra ladened Peninsula I go. This would be the backside to where I started this adventure a week ago. I find a lava cave tunnel tour but need to wait a couple of hours before I can go, so back to exploring the Reykjanes I go. First up, a lone church rises by the sea…. ![](https://i0.wp.com/mywalkabout.net/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/HipstamaticPhoto- 713880626.006147.jpg?resize=640%2C457&ssl=1) #### **I find inspiration** in the lone painted canvases of sea faring sailors. I venture out along lonely dirt roads and just wander out into the landscape. A lone bird dances and calls my name as the sea breeze tickles my nose. ![](https://i0.wp.com/mywalkabout.net/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/GH016360-1.jpg? resize=640%2C360&ssl=1) #### **Back to the Lava tunnel cave I go**, as my tour is ready to begin. Fascinated I have always been with caves, and add in lava from centuries past and call me smitten. ![](https://i0.wp.com/mywalkabout.net/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/IMG_8640.jpg?resize =640%2C480&ssl=1) #### **Eventually my time comes to an end** as I leave the beauty of Reykjanes Peninsula and head back to Reykjavík. After a week in relative isolation the harsh reality of bustling traffic and people stresses me out, but I eventually find my way to the domestic airport, located in the heart of the city. I easily drop off my rental car, walk into the airport hangar, and board my flight across country, back to East Iceland….ready for another adventure! ### Share this: * [ Email ](https://mywalkabout.net/my-final-day-on-icelands-ring-road/?subject=%5BShared%20Post%5D%20My%20final%20day%20on%20Iceland%27s%20Ring%20Road&body=https%3A%2F%2Fmywalkabout.net%2Fmy-final-day-on-icelands-ring-road%2F&share=email) * [Post](https://x.com/share) * [Share on Tumblr](https://www.tumblr.com/share) * [ WhatsApp ](https://mywalkabout.net/my-final-day-on-icelands-ring-road/?share=jetpack-whatsapp) * [ Nextdoor ](https://mywalkabout.net/my-final-day-on-icelands-ring-road/?share=nextdoor) * [ Threads ](https://mywalkabout.net/my-final-day-on-icelands-ring-road/?share=threads) * [[ * [Tweet](https://twitter.com/share) * [ Reddit ](https://mywalkabout.net/my-final-day-on-icelands-ring-road/?share=reddit) ### Like this: Like Loading…
