Jokulsarlon ~ Part Two
14 November 2016, Iceland ⋅ 🌙 25 °C
Across from the lake is Jokulsarlon Beach. I didn’t think there could be anything more beautiful than the glacier lake we just experienced. I was definitely wrong!

Words can’t describe this place. They call it “Diamond Beach” because of the large chunks of ice shimmering against the black sand beach. It really did look like hundreds of diamonds scattered along the beach.

There were also huge chunks of ice being thrown around in the ocean surf. These things had to weigh hundreds of pounds. Dave thought it would be a brilliant idea to climb on top of one of them. He got on it just as a wave crashed into it. He survived and surprisingly didn’t get that wet.

I could have spent all day on this beach, but unfortunately time wasn’t on my side. The sun was setting and a 4 hour drive back to Reykjavik awaited us. We prepared a quick backpacking meal in the parking lot before heading back to the hotel.

If I ever make it back to Iceland, this will be at the top of my list of places to visit.Baca lagi

Our accommodations in Iceland were modest but nice. We stayed in an Icelandair hotel about 10 minutes from the heart of Reykjavik. The room and bathrooms were small which is typical of a European County. We were never there so it worked fine for our needs.

We took a few moments on our last morning there to photography a few of the art pieces found around the hotel.Baca lagi

Reykjavik ~ Part Two
15 November 2016, Iceland ⋅ ⛅ 3 °C
Our last day in Iceland has arrived. Instead of driving to another waterfall, we decided to stay local and continue to explore Reykjavik.

We started the tour with a trip to downtown where we explored local shops. I always got excited when I saw reminders of home and seeing this Dunkin’ Donuts made me very happy!

One of our only meals in Iceland was at a restaurant known for its bread bowl soups. We were lucky to get a seat since there is a strict no waiting allowed policy. The soup was delicious. We finished it off with a hot chocolate before heading back into the cold.

There is this weird hill on the coastline that I read about on a travel review site. We headed there and climbed to the top where we were rewarded with some awesome views.

Our last stop was this random hot springs along the coast. It maintains its warm temperature year around. We almost decided not to get in but what fun would that have been? I went first and ended up getting soaked when I sat down to take my socks off. Dave was next. He made the mistake of running all the way back to the car in bare feet. Did I mention that it had started snowing by this point? It was a perfect way to end our epic trip to Iceland!Baca lagi
