A trip to Iceland to photograph the northern lights.
Today, Jeff and I ventured to Vik, the southern most city in Iceland, and saw the sun rise and set on our journey. I still cannot get over both the morning and evening twilight – so blue and so much longer than in California. And the blues aren’t the only colors…
Didn’t do too much today. After going to bed between 5 and 6am, it was hard to wake up at 9:45 and run downstairs for breakfast, but we did. Afterward, we had to nap – except that I can’t stop reading The DaVinci Code, so I didn’t sleep. About 1pm we…
Woke up late this morning… or afternoon as the case was. Missed breakfast at the hotel but had a smoothie from across the street then headed to town. We went to the settlement museum and learned about the pre-Christian era and a bit about Yule (Christmas). We then went up…
Wow we did a LOT today. Woke up before the sun (easy to do!), ate breakfast and made the 2.5 hour, icy, snowy drive to Gullfoss (The Golden Waterfall). It was freezing cold out there and of course I slipped and fell on some hard ice, but it was worth…
Briefly seen on an episode of The Bachelor years ago, the Blue Lagoon was a must visit destination for this trip. We don’t have many plans while we were here but I am glad we made this one of them, We started the morning about 7am local time with breakfast at…
Just a few shots from the OC and Seattle Airport and IcelandAir flight Saturday/Sunday that we didn’t post before. I enjoyed all of the translations to Icelandic on board and the informational videos about the country.
After having a tricky time getting our rental car after being a given a key that only opened the trunk, our next day… err… night… um… afternoon… began when Jenn and I woke up after nap at about 3:00pm local time. The downtown of Reykjavik is a nice small town,…
Our journey has begun. We are currently in Seattle waiting for our 10 hour flight to Iceland to board. This morning we were so happy to get to the airport we waited outside the condo hoping each car pulling into the complex was the cab. The flight left a little…
The Blue Lagoon geothermal hot springs in Iceland are one of the most popular hot springs in the world. Rated by National Geographic as one of their bucket-list places to visit.
We are going to the I-lands, Ireland and Iceland! We just booked our flight to Reykjavik this afternoon and are extremely excited about it. I am sure you are wondering why we want to go to a frozen land during the coldest month of the year? Two words… aurora borealis.
