  • Hild Hostel

    17 Agustus 2017, Islandia ⋅ 🌙 -6 °C

    We stayed at a campsite with cabin tonight. It's difficult to find cheap accommodation in this area for four persons. And actually, this hostel is not cheap but the facilities are comprehensive. The only drawback is that the cabin is not located near the common toilet. We have to walk several minutes in open space to the common toilet. It would be nice in good weather but it was sill raining.Baca selengkapnya

  • Húsavík

    18 Agustus 2017, Islandia ⋅ ⛅ -1 °C

    After leaving Myvatn area, we drove north to Húsavík, which is one of the hot spot for whale watching. We originally booked a whale watching tour this afternoon but because of the bad weather, it was cancelled. We decided to tried again the next day.Baca selengkapnya

  • Dettfoss and Selfoss

    18 Agustus 2017, Islandia ⋅ ☀️ 11 °C

    The whale watching trip was cancelled. And, the weather was bad. What to do now? We adjusted the itinerary and drove to Asbyrgi because we did not want to skip this most powerful waterfall in Europe. The second half of the road was very bumpy. This waterfall itself was very spectacular but it's too bad that the weather was very poor. We almost couldn’t see anything and do any hiking at all.

    Just several minutes of walking distance away, they was another waterfall which was very peaceful. A big contrast to the previous one. Nevertheless, the weather was so bad that we could only be able to take a short walk and took a look of the waterfall and then went back to the car.

    There was not a lot of options of accommodation at Husavik. We stayed here tonight. It was the most expensive accommodation among our whole trip in Iceland because it was located near the town centre. We booked this one because we originally wanted a short drive after the whale watching boat trip.Baca selengkapnya

  • Godafoss

    19 Agustus 2017, Islandia ⋅ ☁️ 7 °C

    The weather started changing to good today but the whale watching trip was still cancelled. We instead went to see some gorgeous waterfalls in Iceland. Godafoss is one of the most famous waterfalls in Iceland because of the beautiful horseshoe-shape.Baca selengkapnya

  • Aldeyjarfoss

    19 Agustus 2017, Islandia ⋅ ☀️ 7 °C

    Because of the cancellation of the whale watching trip, we suddenly got a free slot this afternoon. After visiting Godafoss, I suddenly remembered that I found that I have bookmarked Aldeyjarfosson on my map but didn’t actually plan to visit it. With free time now, why not give it a try?

    This one is surely one of the hidden gems. It is located about a further 40 minutes driving towards South from Godafoss with gravel road, but it definitely worths the drive. It's so remote that almost no tourists here. And the waterfall, together with the surrounding area, makes it the most impressive waterfall in Iceland.

  • Isholsvatn

    19 Agustus 2017, Islandia ⋅ ☀️ 7 °C

    After visiting the most beautiful waterfall in Iceland, we drove a little bit south to explore. We did a little bit more adventure today and drove off-road to the lakeside to have picnic.

    It's so lovely with perfect weather and nobody. All because of the cancellation of the whale watching trip! We enjoyed a lot of idle time here.Baca selengkapnya

    We stayed again here tonight at Húsavík. It’s fascinating that because of the cancellation of the whale watching trip in a good weather day, we instead had the chance to to go to Aldeyjarfoss.

    It turned out to be the best thing in the whole trip. It’s amazing.

  • Trollaskagi

    20 Agustus 2017, Islandia ⋅ ⛅ 9 °C

    After leaving Akureyri, we took the North route to take a detour to Trollaskagi Peninsula. The scenes were great but the kids were quite boring for the 2-hr drive. If you are short in time, you can take the Route 1 for an hour to go to Varmahlíð.Baca selengkapnya

  • Lava Water Accommodation Miðhraun, Miðhr

    21 Agustus 2017, Islandia ⋅ ⛅ 13 °C

    It's another day of long hours of driving to the eastern Iceland. We stayed at Lava Water today. The accommodation was very homely with well equipped kitchen and first class setting in everything. Great! We chose this accommodation for its location near the Snaefellsjoekull National Park. This area is perfect except that the nearest supermarket was about 1 hour away. Need to get well prepared first.Baca selengkapnya

  • Rauðfeldsgjá Gorge

    22 Agustus 2017, Islandia ⋅ ☀️ 11 °C

    Today we went to the Snaefellsjoekull National Park, which is full of interesting hikes and places.

    The first stop was a hike along a narrow stream. But the stones were very slippery and we found it quite challenging to continue. We could only be able to walk several meters inside the ravine and then returned, though the scenes were very impressive already.Baca selengkapnya

  • Arnarstapi

    22 Agustus 2017, Islandia ⋅ ☀️ 11 °C

    The next stop was Arnarstapi and we started a hike here to the next township. After a 2.5km walk along the cliff, we arrived the cafe before to enjoy a break. And then return in the same way back to Arnarstapi. The scenes along the walk were really wonderful.Baca selengkapnya

  • Hraunfossar

    23 Agustus 2017, Islandia ⋅ ☀️ 29 °C

    We were fast approaching the final part of our trip. We drove to Deildartunguhver, which was a hot spring. But it was under renovation and thus there was not much to see. Afterwards, we had picnic at Hraunfossar, which was a very nice waterfall. It's too bad that there was no trail to go to the riverside.Baca selengkapnya

  • Vidgelmir Cave

    23 Agustus 2017, Islandia ⋅ ☀️ 29 °C

    in the afternoon, we joined the tour to Vidgelmir Cave. The tour lasted around 1.5 hours and was quite informative (but the kids thought that it's very boring with nothing to see or touch).

    It's very cold inside the cave. You must bring enough layers of clothes.Baca selengkapnya
