Iceland is an incredible country. There are so many beautiful landscapes with every turn. The scenery can change in an instant, as well as the weather. One mile you see lava fields and then a field of moss or dirt terrain with beautiful mountains in the background. It’s a very jaw dropping experience. My boyfriend…

Iceland- Day 1
Hello Iceland! After a long and tiring flight, we finally arrived at the Keflavík Airport around 11am. Any flight over 3 hours is too long in my book, but after we got off the plane, I was ready to go! *Tip* Before you leave the airport, stop at duty free and purchase alcohol there. This…
Iceland- Day 2
The second day was a pretty busy day. We ate our breakfast and then headed down the road to the second waterfall that we didn’t get to fully enjoy on the first night. Seljalandsfoss is a beautiful waterfall. You can even walk behind it. We wanted to stay as dry as possible, since we basically…
Iceland- Day 3
Our third day was a magical day. We visited Jökulsárlón Glacier Lagoon. Ice Ice Baby Icebergs break off in to the lagoon. It is a very cool sight to see. There is a lookout spot before the main viewing point. We decided to pull over and walk over to the lagoon. There were only two…
Iceland Day 4
Hello Stokksnes! 5am wake up call! I am not a morning person, but getting up early for our next destination was worth it. Stokksnes is not far from Hofn. It was about a 20 minute drive. There is a fee to access the beach. It was around 7 isk per person. There is a kiosk…
Iceland Day 5
We started our morning relaxing at Myvatn Nature Baths. This is similar to the Blue Lagoon. Its cheaper and has the same unique blue color. We arrived right when it opened so we had the pool to ourselves for awhile. If the water in the pool isn’t hot enough, then you can sit in what…
Iceland Day 6
On the road again…….. Our campsite for this night was a little over 3 hours away from Tungulending Guesthouse. We enjoyed our free breakfast, packed up our belongings and got back on the road. We didn’t make it far because during our lovely dinner the night before, it was suggested to check out a new…
Iceland Day 7 & 8
Day 7: Kirkjufell! We stopped a few times along the way to take pictures. The town we stayed in this night was Grundarfjordur. We drove around to see what was in the area. There were a few restaurants, a grocery and liquor store. How cool is this lava field we found along the way! Once…
Iceland Packing List
Our flights were cheap. We booked our flight with WOW airlines for $300 round trip per person. As much as I loved the cheap price, we still had to pay extra for our bags. The airline included 1 free personal item. Carry on bags or checked bags cost extra. We stuffed as much as we…
