Gullfoss Waterfall

What a treat to see the waterfalls at Gullfoss. But it was rainy, windy, 47 degrees and there were 8 flights of steps down plus 2 more steps to go down for the most comprehensive picture. And what goes down, must be climbed up. Yes that is 106 steps down and 106 steps up.
For those of you that wondered about whether I really needed the long underwear (top and bottom) and new puff coat with gloves and headband - yes I did need those things!
These first views are before the steps.
