The Land of Fire and Ice

An overnight flight, I couldn't sleep if I tried
Too excited to see what awaited outside
We stepped off the plane to be covered in rain
For an Icelandic adventure and memories to gain

In a motorhome we went travelling around
Selfoss roaring, geysir erupting from the ground
On golden circle, we stood in two places at once
No time to see it all, we'd have been there for months

Now some whale watching, so we hopped on a boat
A playful humpback was out, so close to our float
So majestic and huge, you'd believe it to see him
Especially after the visiting their phallological museum

An amazing place full of tucked away hotsprings
A small "hot tub" in the mountains, of all things
Cheers with an Einstock and the viking thunderclap 
I'll be back one day, but for now, that's a wrap.
