Iceland

Reykjavik, Iceland

Entrance at Blue Lagoon

Aside from the fact that this was a chilly spot to vacation, it was beautiful!  The shops along the narrow streets were very cute and unique.  The exchange rate was one that I never quite figured out while there.  Luckily for me, all of the residents we met were very friendly and helpful.  Don't bother trying to pronounce any of the street names...or on second thought, try it after a few pints at a nearby pub.  

Blue Lagoon

Blue Lagoon
When else can you say that you swam in a volcano?  The Blue Lagoon was an amazing natural wonder.  It was incredible to sit in the mineral-rich thermal water or under the waterfalls.  The Lagoon was only a few feet deep, perfect depth for sitting and relaxing.  I visited the Blue Lagoon in the winter time so we were surround by a light mist and magical fog created by the thermal water.

Northern Lights

Northern Lights
Prior to visiting Iceland, I had only heard about the Northern Lights.  It wasn't until I saw it live that I realized the magic behind it.  We were out walking around at night and immediately stopped and became speechless as we were watching it.  It was as though there were lights dancing in the sky.  The brightness of the greens and reds were stunning.

Hallgrimskirkja Church

Hallgrimskirkja Church 
Reykjavik is a wonderful city to walk around and get lost in.  It was very pedestrian friendly.  We spent an entire day wandering around taking in the sights.  Towards the end of our day we walked up to the top of the hill to the Hallgrimskirkja Church.  This was an amazing shaped church that was truly visable from just about everywhere in the city.  When out of site, you can hear it's powerful bells ringing on the hour.
