Ellis had now pretty much reverted to computer addiction and Luca seemed to spend most of his time wandering round the house staring at nothing. It was about midday by the time we left - today would be the Diamond Circle. Unfortunately, the amazing scenery was starting to wear a little thin on Ellis in particular, but with a bit of persuasion we walked round the volcanic formations of Vesturdalur, the Hverfjall crater, the other worldy geothermal plain of Hverir and the geothermal pool and chasms of Grjotagja cave (where Jon Snow was deflowered in Game of Thrones).
The area around Lake Mývatn reminded me of the Scottish Highlands where the land is breaking up into the sea and it seems like the earth has only just formed. Except it was prettier, but more populated. I found a phone which I guiltily returned to where I found it - worried I'd spend the rest of the day arranging to meet people in order to give it to them....
We finished off the day with a dip in the Geothermal baths and then another gourmet burger at Hamborgarafabrikkan in Akureyri.
