Iceland Day 5




On the fifth day, it was time to head back to Reykjavik. I took route 33 along the coast, stopping by the Urridafoss waterfall and the seaside villages of Stokkseyri and Eyrarbakki along the way.

Iceland Day 4


We set sail for Heimaey Island off the south coast of Iceland. It was a great boat ride especially when passing the uninhabited islands along the way. I explored new land that came about during an eruption in 1973, and the town was very cute for quainting.

Iceland Day 3



My 3rd day in Iceland, I set out south from Reykjavik along the Ring Road. My destination was the Hotel Ranga, about 120 km southeast of the city, considered the best place in Iceland to see Northern Lights. From there, I drove another 90km to Vik, stopping along the way to visit a black sand beach, more waterfalls, gnome houses, and some interesting taxidermy. Our first stop was Seljalandsfoss, which created amazing ice formations with its falling water and mist.
