Iceland 2017 – Aug 2 – 15

Our adventure begins at KEF airport Iceland

The Hallgrimskirkja – a Lutheran church in Reykjavik

Two ogors have a staredown! Only kidding!

Jeff at Cafe Babalu

Aww.. cute

Funky buildings in Reykjavik

Waiting for our first Icelandic hot dog with (honey) mustard

Jeff in Stykkishólmur

Cute wooden shops

Cliffs overlook the harbor area – Stykkishólmur

View overlooking the harbor

Near the lighthouse

2 Vikings with the Icelandic flag behind them

Not your ordinary horse – they’re Icelandic – pretty!

Sheep roam free

Puffins at Látrabjarg

Funny and cute!

You had to look over the cliffs to see them

Side angle of the cliffs

Too cute

Nice sunset near Breidavík

One of the many signs we saw along the way

On the way to Siglufjörður

Here is where we stayed

Looking at the town of Siglufjörður from our kitchen

Nice harbor but not a lot of activity

Jeff walking the town

I do NOT think this is a CertainTeed roof 🙂

Even at 52 degrees, Rick still eats ice cream

In Siglo as the locals call it

We went here for herring, but the herring left in the 1960s. So we bought cod to cook at the house we rented instead

Would love to see the kids actually using these in winter!

Colorful smoke house @ Herring Museum – Siglufjörður

Rick near Herring Museum

Here’s supper. Now dig in!

Climbing the trail overlooking the town of Siglufjörður

One of MANY waterfalls – Goðafoss

Hverfell crater sign

At Hverfell crater the lava is long gone- thank God

Jeff at Myvatn’s Hverir area

Hverir – like another world

Myvatn Nature Baths – Aug 8

Time to chill!

Another waterfall site – Dettifoss

The small town of Seyðisfjörður

Welcoming, friendly and artistic Seyðisfjörður on Eastern Iceland

We roughed it a few nights along the way to save $ and experienced nature at it’s finest!

Wooden homes around the town reservoir

Menu of Icelandic Beers

On the Ring Road

We saw black sand beaches in many areas

Höfn

You have to eat humar in Höfn (Icelandic langostino caught fresh daily). Fishing ships which catch them are behind Rick

Hofn

Can take a small boat out for about $50

Cool pic

Don’t eat it all. Save some glacier for the next sightseers.

Hiking up to Svartifoss

Almost there…

Rick @ Svartifoss (Black Falls)

Our last camping spot on the trip in the town of Vik

Snug as a bug in a rug…

OK. Tell the sheep to stop “baahh-ing”, I’m trying to sleep yet

What? You don’t like 50 degree weather in August?

We wrote many a postcard in these chairs

Good advice for ANY bar! Let’s all have fun and chill
