One day, 14 hours. Just a taste of the gorgeous southern part of the island. The weather was so clear we were able to see three major volcanoes in one vista—apparently, that's pretty unusual. I went with GoEcco, and the tour was wonderfully tiny: just me, a young couple from NYC, and our guide, Jonas. It was such an intimate and easy-going way to see the sights.

What's missing in this post? Glaciers. So many glacier photos, I had to split the posts up.
But I'll leave you with the Blue Lagoon. And lest you think it's too romantic to stand, the last photo gives a better idea of the reality.
Wow, crazy beautiful! xx
ReplyDeleteWonderful, exactly what you hope Iceland will look like. Love the little villages of houses with their red roofs.
