Tonite' meal

Tomato soup and then PAICHE fish....totally yummy 😍

Whew!!!

Today we went up 450 meters to the top of this mountain....amazing view though once we got there though...we also were driven in huge 4x4 vehicles and did some serious off roading through deep rivers 😱.... We also ventured into deep cracks in some mountains and get to some large waterfalls 😍.

Tonite's dinner menu

At our latest hotel, we are having fresh cooked lamb from the farm here...it was SOOO good πŸ˜ƒ...and some Skyre for desert...

Casualty of the Icelandic rains

One of my fellow traveller's Canon camera's is down πŸ˜£πŸ˜•....some moisture got in it 

Seljalandfoss waterfall

Pretty amazing waterfall that you can walk behind...good thing I had bought NorthFace gear before I went on this trip...it has saved me a couple timesπŸ˜‰πŸ˜ƒ

Vik, South Iceland

2nd attempt

We are at Svartifoss waterfalls today after our second attempt yesterday...it's quite the hike up to it but it'll be worth it

Night of dancing light

The last two nights we stayed at a small hotel near the glacier lagoon.And just last night the Northern Lights were incredibly intense that you can watch them move 😳😳😳.... I want to live here now πŸ˜ƒ LOL...

Glacier Laggon

Wow this place is beautiful 😳😳😳...spending two nights not far from here and we are returning tomorrow.

It's raining puffins and sheep....

We drove to another waterfall but part way up the trail was rained out so we went to a small community store and are sitting with coffee...The NorthFace coat and pants I had bought kept my dry as a bone thoughπŸ˜‰πŸ˜ƒ...so here is my group relaxing and drying off..

Gullfoss Waterfall

We just got back from seeing one spectacular waterfall...it was cold but no windπŸ˜ƒ...

Flight into Iceland

So I thought I had posted my flight in but I guess I forgot to save my entry πŸ˜–...Anyway the flight was uneventful and tiring since I couldn't really fall asleep so our day driving around sight seeing was long but amazing at the same time...The countryside is beautiful yet bare in most parts...right now I'm relaxing at out country hotel (more like motel)...so far the food has been good...nothing fancy but fillingπŸ˜‰...so now we are just relaxing and then heading out to a waterfall nearby around an hour before sunset😊

It's only 1:30 pm here....

And I'm tired from all the sight seeing 😞....the country side is just beautiful though 😍
