Iceland Road Trip Day 10

An early morning was required to make a walking tour in Reykjavik. We found a free parking lot near the old Harbor and walked to the city center. We learned about the history of Reykjavik, early founders, government, naming conventions, building materials, geothermal heating, and more! It was a great introduction to the city.

We visited the church and had a clear view of the city from the top of the elevators for a small fee. We tried rye bread ice cream and chocolate licorice ice cream, had a famous hot dog, did a bit of shopping, and ate some seafood at the harbor. We got a lot of steps in today and then had to pack and prep for our journey home tomorrow.

Iceland Road Trip Day 9

We got up early to try and beat the afternoon wind warnings and our first stop was Jökulsárlón Glacier Lagoon. There are huge icebergs in the water from a glacier that eventually wash out to the ocean creating diamond beach. This was pretty spectacular!

On our drive southwest into Vik, we were greeted with multiple glaciers. It was entertaining that they appeared to just end in fields from the vantage point of the road. We crossed the section of road that had been repaired since our first full day in Iceland and it was a small stretch of road that shut down the whole ring road for over 24 hours.

The wind had picked up by the time we arrived in Vik so we did a quick pit stop and continued on to a campsite in Hella.

Iceland Road Trip Day 8

After getting groceries and gas we wanted to check out the coastal town of Seyðisfjörður. There were two small cruise ships in this port town which made the tiny town feel crowded. Just about everyone wanted a photo of the rainbow road leading to the church. There were waterfalls, local shops, hiking trails, and an outdoor exhibit on women’s working history in Iceland.

We had some distance to cover today because of wind warnings in this area for the later afternoon and tomorrow morning. There was also an increased risk of landslides and we didn't want to get stuck with another road closure right before flying. Luckily it was a beautiful drive along the eastern fjords.

Iceland Road Trip Day 7

Ásbyrgi is a glacial horseshoe shaped canyon. There is a short walk to see the canyon and the amazingly clear water at the base of it. This whole area is part of the Vatnajökull National Park.

We saw amazing views around the area and two waterfalls: Réttarfoss and Dettifoss. Since it's about a 10-15 minute walk one way to Dettifoss, we recommend you wear rain pants. We got caught in the rain and you will learn that most of the time it's too windy to use an umbrella.

We drove along a partial dirt road to Stuðlagil Canyon which I had seen in videos online. There are basalt columns seemingly out of nowhere straight from the ground with a teal blue water running between them. The teal color is the wastewater from a geothermal plant, which is also used at thermal baths around Iceland such as the Blue Lagoon.

We ended the night relaxing in the Vök Baths which had multiple heated pools along a lake. A few brave people jumped into the very cold lake and then back into the hot pools.

Iceland Road Trip Day 6 Part 2

The diamond circle is another loop you can visit off the ring road in northern Iceland. Our next big stop along the route after Lake Mývatn was Húsavík. It was put on the global map in 2020 with the Netflix movie Eurovision with Will Ferrell and Amy McAdams.

We had to see the Ja Ja Dingdong bar that houses the only Eurovision museum. They have memorabilia about the real Eurovision competition and a room dedicated to the movie. We also visited the church in town which is shown in the movie.

There were quite a few wooden sightseeing boats for whale watching. It's the best place in Iceland to go whale watching, although we decided not to go this time.

As we continued our loop north, we saw people parked and walking by the coast. We stopped to see what they were looking at and saw tons of puffins coming in for the evening. We continued to our campsite in Asbyrgi and cooked dinner in the van to avoid the rain outside.

Iceland Road Trip Day 6 Part 1

Lake Mývatn was our next destination that's known for its geothermal features and unique lava pillar formations. We saw multiple buses from Holland America excursions from the ship’s port day in Akureyri.

Dimmuborgir was full of people walking among the lava caves and pillars. We took the difficult blue path which became very narrow and hilly. We visited Grjótagjá, famous caves from Game of Thrones. They were pretty small and also crowded.

Hverir has some features similar to Yellowstone National Park with mud pots and fumaroles. It does have a distinct sulfur smell in this area.

Iceland Road Trip Day 5 Part 2

We stopped in the town of Siglufjörður to visit the Herring Era Museum. There were multiple buildings to explore to see the herring fishing boats, the factory where the fish were processed into fish meal and fish oil, and a separate salting room for direct human consumption. Women used to be paid by the barrel full, not by the hours worked.

We continued on to Akureyri and saw the cruise port along with the hilly downtown, and the beautiful botanic garden. We could have stayed in Akureyri but we decided to continue east to Goðafoss to see the famous waterfall at night with fewer crowds. It was a good decision as we got a bit of golden light at 8:30pm and not a whole lot of people!

Iceland Road Trip Day 5 Part 1

We’re in the northern half of Iceland by now and we’re seeing snow and lots of sheep! None of the car insurance plans cover animal collisions so you have to be careful around the crossing sheep and horses. Fun fact - if you were to ship an Icelandic horse outside of the country, you cannot bring that horse back to Iceland!

We had lunch at a bakery in charming Sauðárkrókur and continued along the Arctic Way to Hofsós to see more basalt pillars along the coast. Sauðanes lighthouse was the furthest north we drove on the whole trip, not too far from the Arctic circle.

Then we had to drive through a single-lane tunnel that had 2-way traffic…that was scary! We had the right of way so the cars coming the other direction had little pull-offs every once in a while within the tunnel. Did we mention that the tunnel wasn't completely straight, either?!

Iceland Road Trip Day 4

One of our favorite tips is to always check out the Visitor Center of anywhere you are traveling to! They usually have helpful maps and information. We traveled around the Snæfellsnes peninsula today where we learned about “Seal Beach” from the Visitor Center map. There was one seal who was really out posing for the tourists!

It was different to see a “blonde beach” since everything along the coast we have seen so far is black with all the volcanic rock.

We stopped at a nice restaurant for lunch in Arnarstapi and had “fish mash”, it tasted better than it sounds! We walked along the coastline seeing tons of birds and then continued to Snæfellsjökuls National Park. We saw an arctic fox here but didn’t get a good photo of it! It was pretty small.

There were two shipwrecks, one was just remnants and the other was a complete ship just outside of the park near Rif.

A must-see on the list was Kirkjufell and it did not disappoint! There were wind warnings for the following day all along the Snæfellsnes peninsula so we wanted to drive out of the wind warning area. We didn’t realize that the “paved highway” on the maps of the northern end of the peninsula meant gravel/dirt highway…. That we were on for over 2 hours on bumpy, pothole-filled roads. We were very happy to arrive at our campsite and get some sleep!

Iceland Road Trip Day 3

Thingvellir National Park is interesting to see in the historical context of Iceland. You can view the areas where people gathered to talk about laws in the past. Before laws were written down, people had to memorize and recite the laws by the "law rock".

This is also an area where two continental plates are drifting apart from each other causing rifts in the land. You can even snorkel between the continental plates in the water that stays about 33-34 degrees all year long.

We took the scenic route west and stumbled across another beautiful waterfall called Þórufoss, apparently used as a filming location in Game of Thrones.

Our last stop was the Settlement Center in Borgarnes for dinner of meat soup and fish soup and to learn a bit more about the sagas of Iceland. The soups were delicious and we had to chuckle when other tourists asked the server what’s in the fish soup and she replied… “fish” in a completely serious tone 🤣

Iceland Road Trip Day 2

We woke up early… (thanks jetlag!) and checked our driving directions for the day only to see that the road just passed us was CLOSED! There was glacial flooding that washed out part of the ring road. We were scheduled to take an ice cave tour so we got ready for that and went to the meeting point. Well, the ice cave tour was on the path of the road closure so ultimately it ended up getting canceled after a few delays. We explored Vik, and then decided to drive the other way around the ring road hoping that the road would be open by the end of our trip.

We headed to the Golden Circle which is one of the most famous tourist routes because it’s easily accessible from Reykjavik on a day trip. We spent the night in the van at the Thingvellir National Park campground.

Stops today:
-Reynisfjara basalt columns on a black sand beach
-Steinahellir Cave
-Kerið crater
-Faxafoss waterfall
-Geysir (to see geysers)
-Gullfoss waterfall

It was a bit rainy and crowded along the Golden Circle but there were free bathrooms in the large gift shops along with free parking. Some of the sites we visited yesterday charged you either for the parking or the bathrooms.

Iceland Road Trip Day 1

With an early arrival, we were able to pick up our van and get started on our road trip around Iceland. We bought some groceries at Bonus, which is similar to Aldi, and headed east. We stopped at waterfalls (and even went behind one!), saw a geothermal area on the side of the road, and found puffins coming back to nest for the evening! We picked up pizza and set up camp for our first night in the van in the town of Vik. We spent over 3 hours driving today and were ready for sleep!

Stops on the way:
-Kleifarvatn Lake
-Seltún geothermal area
-Ægissíðufoss
-Seljalandsfoss
-Gljúfrafoss
-Skógafoss
-Dyrhólaey (puffins!)
-Black Crust Pizza for dinner

Sometimes it rains while you're traveling. Do you change your plans or go anyway? The first photo is from 11 years ago in Acadia National Park vs this year. Acadia has a timed reservation system for the summit so we were committed and went despite the rain. Still had a fun time!

🌿 Caribbean Group Trip Day 1 Recap 🌿

We kicked off with an early start as we eagerly embarked on a rainforest adventure to El Yunque! 🌄 Boarding a nondescript white van, we journeyed through winding roads, picking up fellow travelers along the way, before immersing ourselves in nature.
Trekking through mud and clay, surrounded by iridescent green and blue plants that inspired scenes from Avatar, we felt truly transported to another world.

Our trek led us to a breathtaking oasis. Some among us embraced the thrill of the natural water slide, while others dared to leap from towering cliffs and swing from sturdy ropes. The camaraderie was infectious, though the spot did get a tad crowded!

After our exhilarating rainforest escapade, we retreated to town for a well-deserved rest before reconvening at a local bar for a casual meet and greet with our fellow travelers. 🍻 Anticipation mounts as we prepare to set sail on our cruise tomorrow, ready to make more memories and bask in the beauty of the Caribbean seas! 🚢

🌴 Caribbean Group Trip Day 0 Recap 🌴

Touching down in San Juan, Puerto Rico, on a morning flight was just the beginning of our Caribbean adventure! 🛬 After landing, we hopped into a taxi and made our way to our cozy accommodation nestled in the heart of Old San Juan. Little did we know, our lodging was just steps away from the charming Save-A-Gato cat sanctuary! 🐾 Needless to say, we instantly fell in love with our furry neighbors.

We took a brief stroll to Castillo San Felipe, soaking in the rich history of the fortress before closing time. Pro tip: Don't forget your annual national parks pass for seamless entry! Walking through the ancient fortifications and exploring the dry moat left us in awe of its resilience. The ocean breeze was refreshing amidst the historical grandeur.

After our fortress escapade, we treated ourselves to a delightful dinner and called it an early night in anticipation of our upcoming rainforest tour. Stay tuned for more updates from our Caribbean escapade! 🌟
