This afternoon we went to another glacial lagoon and to diamond beach (where the icebergs go to die) and then an evening stroll to the glacier behind the hotel. Glorious sunshine this afternoon.Leggi altro

Taking advantage of a rare appearance by the sun, Kevin and I went for a lovely evening walk to the glacier. Nice to get away from the crowds.

Another hotel another wonderful setting. Very comfortable - but poor choice of carpet and pelmets on the curtains…. 😅It’s all about the detail!

A week on Iceland and have finally found beer nirvana. And a brilliant hotel. And a car museum. We like Breiodalsvik.

A circular tour today. First up Husavik, where we went to the impressive whale museum. Whales are big. And, according to the video narrated by (who else?) David Attenborough, they are also clever. WeLeggi altro
