Iceland – Final Day Snæfellsnes Peninsula
So after a restless night it was time to spend our last real day in Iceland. The winds were strong during the night and Jeff and I laid awake expecting a window to burst from one of the many rocks or hail hitting it or for our cabin to be lifted off the ground. We climbed out of bed the […]
Iceland – Whales, Beer, and Agricultural College
I apologize for not finishing our story sooner. Life has been busy and I have taken a little break from writing. So here we are in North Iceland and I am finally going to do something I’ve wanted to do my whole life. We are going whale watching! So Husavik boasts to be the whale watching capital. Akureyi is also […]
Iceland – Into the steaming land of mud pots and volcanic craters
After a lovely breakfast of bagels and fruits and oatmeal from home we were ready to set off for another day. Today would take us to steaming otherworldly sulfuric areas of Iceland. The expected drive time to Krafla was almost two hours. Along our route we stopped at a couple of scenic stops. First up were some great turf houses. […]
Iceland Continues Eggs sculptures, Rocks, Puffins
Our journey now continues to the east coast of Iceland. Today was filled with more driving time than we’d had so far. Our first stop was Stokksnes about 20 minutes from Hofn. We stopped at the Viking Café to tour the property and get multiple views of the mighty Vestrahorn mountain. This is a magical area with beautiful black sand […]
Iceland Glaciers, Dwarves, and Lagoons
So our journey around the south coast of Iceland continues. One stop I had been very excited to see was Fjaðrágljúfur Canyon. Sadly the canyon had been closed due to poor trail conditions and was still closed when we arrived so we did not get to see it. Along the way to the canyon the landscape was filled with […]
Iceland Adventure South Coast continues with waterfalls and black sand beaches
A short diary of Iceland’s south coast day trip to include seljalandsfoss, skogafoss, kvernufoss, reynisjara beach, dyrholaey, and the plane crash site.
Iceland Adventure Braurfoss, Geysir, Gullfoss, Secret Lagoon
So we left off with what already seemed to be a full day. But we still had several adventures ahead of us. Our next stop was to be Brúarfoss waterfall. Our itinerary was taking us counterclockwise around the ring road. This waterfall is not visible from the road and you must be paying attention to find it. Our directions did […]
Iceland – Snorkel Silfra and Thingvellir Park
I had tried to refrain from getting excited about our trip to Iceland. From the moment I bought the airline tickets it seemed like maybe we had made a mistake, like somebody didn’t want us to go. But we had prepared and we couldn’t stop from get excited. We had a pretty tight schedule planned right after arrival. If anything […]
Our latest adventure
So I was asked to write blog entries about our recent trip to Iceland. My mother was confused as to why I would choose this destination. Honestly even though we had talked about it several times I think my husband was confused as well. I typically don’t like the cold. In fact I have long believed that I would die […]
