Winter Wonderland
This was my third "private" trip called "Winter Wonderland" with the Super-Jeep along the "Golden Circle". At this 5. February 2003 it should rather be named "Winter Adventureland" because we were not able to reach Þingvellir.
It started in heavy snow storm in Reykjavík. Some cars were left in the ditch. The driver joked: "I'm a little bit nervous because this is my first time driving in the snow." :)
We were at Gullfoss and Geysir in quite muddy weather. After 17km at the highland route from Laugarvatn to Þingvellir we immediately get stuck in a hidden track of another Jeep. Via radio we got the information that this route is completely blocked and thus we had to wait for the other driver to pull us out and then we went back to Laugarvatn and from there home to Reykjavík.
