I am documenting our Icelandic Summer Travels. Here it goes!
Arrival
We arrived early morning on Sunday June 20, the summer solstice and our 6th wedding anniversary. Technically, we married on June 21st, but I like the solstice to celebrate.
We had dinner at the Fiskfélagið, or The Fish Company. Highly recommend for a nice dinner and great sushi.
Volcano
The main things I wanted to do the first week was visit the volcano, which we did twice. Wednesday we visited the base of the volcano. The next day, David and I went back and hiked to a point across the lava field where we could get a view of the lava bubbling.
The movement of the bright red color was pretty mesmerizing.
Caves of Hella
On Saturday we drove visited the Caves of Hella. The caves are man-made and appear to be from very early Icelandic settlers that are believed to be from Ireland.
We also had lunch at a nearby Hotel Ranga.
