So we landed during the tail end of a rain storm. Relaxed and unpacked and went for a stroll about Reykjavik and had some lovely warming food.
Then, the best bit, we went to the Blue Lagoon, an outdoor, geothermal spa. We literally had to run out to it because it was fricking freezing and we had not noticed the indoor bit.
We had a great time trying to stay in the warm bits and it was very pretty in the dark.
On our way back out to the bus we caught a glimpse of the aurora borealis. The sky was not good enough for it to be really clear but it was amazing just the same.
The next day it was an early start for our fantastic super jeep tour with the best guide ever, Ollie. Waterfalls, Geysers, Glaciers, we saw it all and when we started to get a bit sleepy from being in the jeep Ollie would just go off roading.
It was a bit made when the GPS said there was no road so it recorded the trail the jeep made and then we followed it back. Oh and then when Ollie talked about the times the jeep had fallen into the river.
We got to make yellow snow. Jason says do not eat the yellow snow.
I also made my first snow angel. ;)
Paula and Jason went on a disappointing whale watching tour. Sea sick was the order of the day.
Other fun things: expensive food such a puffin, expensive food generally, the lovely people with fantastic sense of humour, the drinking..... oh the drinking.
