The weather was great again today. Steve worked out while Sage and I hung out. Then we did a bunch of smaller walks around the lake. First we did the 1.5 mile hike at the spot I had ran at yesterday. It was gorgeous. Then we went for a quick visit of grjótagjá, a Thermal…
We’ve spent today and yesterday in Akureyri while there is still rain and snow in the forecast for Husavik and Myvatn, our next two stops. Yesterday we woke up, went to the pool and gym in Akureyri again, then for lunch at a delicious Chinese restaurant in town. Sage took a nap while we played…
Today we woke up and took a hiker from the campsite to the grocery store. We were going there anyway, and it was nice to chat. He was from the Canary Islands and spoke Spanish, so we got to practice our Spanish too. I found him very easy to understand. I always find it interesting…
The weather seems to just get nicer by the day, today included. It has been warm with mild winds. We have been in short sleeves much of the day. Today we woke up and went for a hike just east of Grundafjordur. The hike was one that was listed on all trails. It was easy…
Today was our fourth day here on the Snaefellsnes peninsula. The weather continues to be beautiful. Today was even better – less windy and a bit warmer. We woke up and did some errands – laundry, grocery shopping, gas. The food tour taught us that we like Icelandic hot dogs (something I never would have…
Today was beautiful… Clear, sunny, highs in the mid-50s. A bit windy in places, but not everywhere. We woke up, Steve ran, we ate breakfast and stopped at the only supermarket on this end of the peninsula. Then we drove into the Snaefellsnes national park and hiked the Raudholl loop. It was gorgeous. We walked…
Yesterday we drove into the Snaefellsnes peninsula. We marked on a map all of the places we wanted to stop… Waterfalls, cliffs, caves, pools. Our plan is to drive around and see them all and then when we are done, take a ferry to the Westfjords from Stykkisholmur to Brjanslaekar with a stop at Flatey…
Yesterday we woke up and drove to a hike from the ring road. It was beautiful. We saw a few people as we arrived and a few on the way out, otherwise it was just us and birds and sheep along the whole valley. We walked for about 3.5 miles round trip. The trail followed…
Yesterday we woke up in Grindavik to howling winds, confirming that we are in Iceland. I caught a ride with Brian and Sheryl to the Blue Lagoon thermal spa. Steve wasn’t interested so he stayed back with Sage. The rest of us enjoyed relaxing in the hot water. Blue Lagoon is one of the top…
Yesterday we arrived in Iceland. We got the camper, bought a car seat and installed it. Front facing European car seats are interesting…. We drove out of Reykjavik to Hveragerdi did grocery shopping, had dinner, found a campsite, unpacked and organized and then went for ice cream. Sage fell asleep and missed the ice cream……
