Our Christmas In Paris

MERRY CHRISTMAS!

For the family, we apologise. We intended to have a little merry Christmas post up before Christmas, but instead you get some action photos of the day. Yay!

Our Last Day In Iceland

We were visiting the last places on our lists and packing our bags, ready to be out of here the next day. We were all a bit sad, though mostly so happy and excited about the lights, about Sigur Ros, The Blue Lagoon, about our day trip to Hofn and that langoustine, so happy that we had experienced Iceland and all it had to offer. That being said we are coming back here to do the things we couldn't do on this trip, partly because of weather, partly because of time...

The Northern Lights

Shooting stars and bright, bright lights!

Walking Around Reykjavik, Boats, Swimming And Markets

It looks like a Tim Burton location. It was just some run down house in the city side streets.

After spending 2 days in a car travelling to and from Hofn we decided to spend the next two days in Reykjavik's city centre. The sun decided to finally come out so we spent the days walking around the town, eating delicious food and swimming in a couple of Iceland's many heated pools.

The Place Where Bill Clinton Ate The Best Hot Dog In The World...Plus More!

On this day we managed to consume what were considered the 'world's best hotdog' and the 'world's best lobster soup'. The second was a little more obscure, but definitely more delicious. 

The Blue Lagoon

Blue Lagoon Geothermal Spa. A magical place in Iceland.

Road Trip To Hofn - Part III

In the last part of our trip we visited two sites which we were so close to just driving past and forgetting about and we were so glad we didn't! The Svartifoss trail was one of them, pictured above.

Road Trip To Hofn - Part II

After our day long drive across Iceland the day before it was now time to make our journey back from whence we came, hopefully squeezing in the things we missed the day before due to crumby weather. We had been unsuccessful in our mission to see the northern lights far from the light pollution from Reykjavik and we were hoping for some luck in seeing a few more things on our way back including the famous Jokulsarlon floating icebergs pictured above.

Road Trip To Hofn - Part I

We set off from Reykjavik and were headed for Hofn with our worldly possessions and a couple of pizzas in our ridiculously large 4WD. We were attempting the "southern shore" tour of Iceland, travelling from the west of the country to the east going along the south coast. Adventure was in the air!

Reykjavik And Sigur Ros At Iceland Airwaves 2012

On this day we thought it best to wander through Reykjavik and see a bit of the town/very little city, which pleased me to no end. We had so much to see and do and it was a perfectly relaxing day in the lead up to the Sigur Ros concert we had very much been looking forward to that night. In fact it was the very reason we had decided to book our flights over 5 months ago and we are so glad we did.
