I thought as I took so many photos in beautiful scenic Iceland that it was probably best to split them into two posts. We were only there for three days but you wouldnt think so from the number of photos.

The other post (my previous post) was of all the beautiful landscapes – this one covers all the photos of us as a family in Iceland – and our time inĀ  Reykjavik

Our first stop was the Blue Lagoon – a spa which has a lagoon heated naturally by hot springs. The silica mud from the bottom of the lagoon is provided to be used as a face mask.

We stayed in a great airbnb right in the centre

We wandered round Reykjavik enjoying the colourful houses and the local shops…

We visited the fabulous Hallgrimskirkja and went up to the top of it for views over the city. Unfortunately poor Dx was picked on a bit by his brothers and ended up seeking some solitude in the church

We went on coach tours to waterfalls where we played pooh sticks over the rivers and skimmed stones…

August 2016 – Iceland (the landscapes)

In August we were lucky enough to go on a mega trip to the US via Iceland. We flew via Iceland as they were the cheapest flights – the fact that we could break our journey there and spend a few days in Iceland was a bonus.

And what a bonus it was! Iceland is a really beautiful country. We only had a couple of days so we took a couple of coach tours in order to see as much as we could. We also visited the famous “Blue Lagoon” but I’ll cover that in another post about us.

This post is dedicated sorely to the beautiful landscapes of Iceland – so beautifu that I was able to take most of these photos through the reflective dirty windows of the coach and they still look wonderful. If you like stark scenery and get a chance to visit Iceland – grab it with both hands…
