I was so sad when our time in Iceland had come to an end. It had been the most amazing experience and I think we both really had the best time.
We booked this trip the week before Luke & I flew to Florida, it’s something we really wanted to do so just did it, and I knew it was a trip I wouldn’t regret.
We literally packed so much into our 4 days, that we couldn’t leave feeling like we hadn’t done something we really wanted to (okay apart from the blue lagoon, but that was down to Mother Nature and the volcano!)
In 4 days we had done: – all of which fyi I recommend)
The Beluga whale sanctuary
Whale watching
Fly over Iceland experience
Lava experience
Strokkur Geysirs
Gullfoss Falls
Raufarhólshellir lava tunnel
hveradalir geothermal area
kerid crater
Passed the blue lagoon and þorbjörn volcano (the one due to erupt anytime, but we HAD to see it one time whilst we were here.
Brimketill lava rock pool
Gunnuhver hot springs
Reykjanes lighthouse
Volcano man keyboards (if you know, you know)
Bridge between 2 tectonic plates (where the North American plate meets the Eurasian plate)
I mean seriously, we packed a lot into a short trip!
The 2 main things I personally struggled with the most was the currency – like everything is thousands, and I just couldn’t get my head around it. And secondly was the veggie options, on any menu I looked at there was only 2 veggie options available, everything in Iceland is very meaty! But honestly that wouldn’t put me off of coming back here in a heartbeat.
PS – They have a bath & bodywork’s in the airport – yes I was extremely happy and had to make another purchase on top of the hundred and something dollars I spent in Florida, but can you ever have too many hand sanitisers?
