Getaway: Iceland
September 2018 // Reykjavik
Been There Done That:
Our first stop in Iceland! This geothermal spa is one of the 25 wonders of
the world. The perfect cure for flight delays
and jet lag! Note: hair conditioner is a must! We didn’t use enough at first
and our hair was fried the rest of the trip.
Golden Circle
Öxarárfoss: the pool at the base of the waterfall is filled
with rocks. You have to go on a mini hike to get there, but it's breathtaking.
Laugarvatn Fontana: sleek lakefront spa featuring
natural steam baths, outdoor mineral pools and a sauna. So relaxing!
Geysir: a huge hot spring, which spouts water hundreds of
feet into the air. We got lucky, and it went off right when we got there.
Gullfoss: waterfall located in the canyon of the HvÃtá River.
We saw the prettiest rainbow!
Friðheimar: a tomato greenhouse with unlimited tomato
soup. The cutest and yummiest! Reservations are required.
Faxafoss: wide waterfall in the Tungufljót River. You can
get really close.
Kerið: volcanic crater lake. We had the most fun taking pics
here. The colors are amazing.
Snorkeling: we snorkeled between the American and
European tectonic plates. The water is 2°c. You wear a base layer, and they
provide two outer layers. You stay dry and warm – minus your hands and face,
which FREEZE! But worth it.
Horseback Riding: a lot more exciting than expected! You ride
to a hidden waterfall. The stables are owned by the sweetest family. They had
coffee and homemade bread inside.
Night Life
B5: so much fun! Lots of American music and dancing.
Lebowski: Also so, so fun!
Our house was perfect for four girls! We walked to dinner every evening.
