3.7.2007 Reykjavik, Islanti
Jatkamme Gulfossin mahtaville
Kaukana näkyy valtava jäätikkö, josta suunnattomat vesimassat tulevat ja putoavat kahden putouksen kautta
Lopulta on aika siirtyä lentokenttää kohti ja aloittaa matka kotiin. Ohitamme Reykjavikin luona vielä yhden kiven jonka sisällä

Aamulla joudun tekemään aamiaiseni itse.
English translation
The last day of the journey is starting and the sun is glimmering behind the clouds. There's still a bus tour ahead to the inland that is taking the whole day. We travel away from Reykjavik and through lava fields, green valleys and mountains finally we arrive to the crater lake. Here Björk long time ago had a rock concert on the raft in the middle of the lake, the audience had sat up on the rim of the crater and the acoustics had been tremendous. On the background far in the horizon is volcano Hekla. Next we are going to see the geysers and Strokkur is spitting its water load tens of metres skywards and makes the tourists recoil.
We proceed to magnificent Gulfoss waterfall. The water vapor is coming towards us at already 500 metres of the fall and the waterfall itself is really astonishing sight. Far away in the horizon there is a huge glacier, where the enormous masses of water are coming and falling through two waterfalls into deep canyon. In the brink of the waterfall I'm again feeling myself so small. The water vapor is wetting my shirt. We will also visit the rupture valley of tectonic plates, here the North American plate has already wandered and detached seven kilometers from the Eurasian plate. The view is impressive but the mood is ruined by million tourists. I can imagine what an experience it could be to wander through these landscapes on your own, like I did on yesterday. In my mind I try to make people to disappear, but it's impossible because the travel guides are loudly speaking their familiar phrases in English and French, and all the tourists are just following in herds. So that's it about the mood! Can't people walk alone without guides.
Finally it's time to move on towards the airport and start my way to home. Near Reykjavik we pass one rock that is dwelled by an elf. There had be made a bend to the freeway because of it. At the airport I take the night flight and start my travel in high skies. I feel wistful and sad and I wouldn't want to return back to my dull weekday life. The ten day journey turns into a 3 hour return flight and everything is over just in a moment. So much experiences and feelings are transformed to couple hours in the air. Night is darkening and The Polar Circle is changed to black night. In Helsinki-Vantaa airport the red moon is leading me home and gives me the ultimate sensation. I get to sleep at two o'clock at night and my dream is confused and distressed. I need a new harbour!
In the morning I have to prepare breakfast by myself.
