We arrived to the Geysir Park in the evening right after the last tour bus had left and we had the place to ourself. We watched Strokkur erupt about 5 times before we turned in. We were traveling by camper van and was parked about 200 m from the geysir for the night and therefore got to enjoy it in the morning again. This natural wonder was the coolest thing I saw in Iceland. The gurgles it makes in anticipation of its eruption and finally the eruption was so interesting we couldn't get enough of it. Each time was different, sometimes it would erupt 3 times in 5 minutes, sometimes it would take 8 minutes between each one, but every time was still exciting and shocking.
The most beautiful part is right before the surface tension of the water is broken and the beautiful aquamarine colour can be seen more exquisitely in the bubble that it forms. If we didn't have other things to see on our trip we would have stayed longer.
