    Reykjavik

    14 de setembro de 2016, Islândia ⋅ ☁️ 10 °C

    Well the trolls from the legends have arrived in Iceland. We've been surrounded by tall gorgeous blonds so far, im sure they will be appalled by us. Its 530am and we are waiting for our bus downtown. The flight was good we sat across from each other with enpty seats in between us and the "others". I sat beside a gawker who would open mouth stare at us everytime we talked. Also had a couple in front of me that brought their own buffet on the plane. However the best was the beauties behind us. All I can say is double fanny pack and a sleep mask with her eye glasses over them.Leia mais

    Hub of Reykjavik

    15 de setembro de 2016, Islândia ⋅ ☁️ 10 °C

    Well its raining and gusting wind and freezing cold we arrived into the city at 630. Not a thing was open and our check in was not until 2! Mom went into a hotel and casually asked where we could get a coffee, the front desk clerk took pity on poor mom and allowed us to sit in the breakfast area and help ourselves to coffee. After about an hour I started to feel guilty and began to wander in the rain and stalked our Airbnb. I noticed the lights were on so I sent a message saying we were in town since the owner mentioned we could check early if need be. We then finally found a breakfast place open at 730am and had the best coffee ever. Its now 9am and we are breaking the cardinal rule and taking a 3 hour nap as we could not sleep on the plane due to the distraction by sleepmask/glasses lady! See you in a few hours!Leia mais

    Day 1

    15 de setembro de 2016, Islândia ⋅ ☁️ 9 °C

    So we got a good 3 hour nap and ventured out for the day. It was rainy but not too cold. We spent the majority of the time looking at the same t-shirts in different stores as we wandered around... If she didnt finally buy it I may have lost my mind...Lots of very cute buildings, very colourful and lots of cool graffitti; which is welcomed and adds character. Surrounded by water and hills. Finished at a great fish and chips place where you can only choose between a couple catches of the day. Early night and then another day wandering the city tomorrow before the Blue Lagoon.Leia mais

    Laundromat cafe

    16 de setembro de 2016, Islândia ⋅ ☁️ 11 °C

    Slept over 10 hrs! Something woke us both up at 915, and it was a challenge to get mom out of bed.. So lazy haha. Day started out rainy again so we made our way to The laundromat cafe for breakfast, I had a deliscious avocado toast, mom just wanted Coffee pumped directly into her veins. Shop was super cute, my goal on this trip is to pry mom away from her phone. Mom took a picture of a statue she felt represented my scolding of her inability to choose a T-shirt after looking at them 10 timesLeia mais

    After the view we went into the church itself and listened to the organist, the organ is made out of more then 2700 pipes was very impressive. More wandering through the city then back to the Airbnb to prepare for the blue lagoon. It has stopped raining and the sun is peeking throughLeia mais

    Te and Kaffi

    17 de setembro de 2016, Islândia ⋅ ⛅ 10 °C

    Well ended up having a bit of a late night after the blue lagoon, drinking wine and watching british game shows. At Te and Kaffi now having a coffee before our golden circle tour. Hope I wake up a bit, woke up in the middle of the night to a weird dream that I was rushing to Aunt Cathys castle because she was a princess then someone pinned me down and cut my hair into a mullet?!?!? I have no idea where that came from but it was traumatizing. Forecast is better, cloudy but no rain and sunny tomorrow!Leia mais

    Thingvellir

    17 de setembro de 2016, Islândia ⋅ ⛅ 7 °C

    First stop is the oldest national park in iceland. Site of the original parliament and courts system. The law bringer would stand between the north american and european techtonic plates and shout the laws. We moved from a large bus to a mini bis when they asked for volunteers, best decision smaller group always ahead of the large groups and got some extra spotsLeia mais

    South Iceland

    18 de setembro de 2016, Islândia ⋅ ⛅ 8 °C

    Early morning trip today. Picked up at 8am but then sat at another hotel for 20 minutes waiting for those people to show up. As soon as we saw the group we understood why we were waiting... One woman was wearing a oink fur coat with a large brimmed leopard print hat...thankful we got to another location and split to other buses and they werent on our tour. The landscape was great with steam coming out of the ground and small waterfalls all over. There were some really cool building built into the ground or mountain but we didnt get pictures because we were driving.Leia mais

    Skogafoss

    Beautiful waterfall with a rainbow the entire time. Most stops were very quick 30 mins but gorgeous. Those sheep are up near the top of the waterfall. Expect many sheep pics... mom loved them. Stopped at E( cant spell it) the volcano that erupted in 2010 and disrupted all travel for a few weeks. Thats mom standing with it behind her.Leia mais

    Randoms and lots of sheep

    18 de setembro de 2016, Islândia ⋅ ⛅ 7 °C

    We were lucky to see sheep herding. The sheep here from all farms are just wandering randomly intermingling through the year this time all the farmers come and round them out and then sort them out by ear tags. Sheeps whose tags have fallen off are assigned to who they believe they belong too by a council and its sorted and agreed upon very quickly. Mom loved this . Stockholm tomorrow at 330anLeia mais
