DECEMBER 2016 - ICELAND

15 DAYS ROAD TRIP ICELAND

"To travel is to discover that everyone is wrong about other countries." A.Huxley

Greetings!

Frosted and polar adventure in the top north of our village...

 hello earth by the moon, we believe it ....

with this permanent atmosphere of sulfur and the extra-planetary landscape...

 This part of the world is simply confusing, and a city by night allow to prepar my mind to face the cold polar, icelanders are very warm and welcoming...

 

Iceland has a similar culture with the other Scandinavian countries, which results in the common viking  past history 

and architecture

                                                                Traditional polar breakfast.

 Quick city tour with a panoramic view from the hill of Reykjavic

                                                                             Hurry 

                                                                             to be

 in the country side

                      Ready  for the golden circle and the challenge to glimpse some northern lights

Ya! it is lagoon but not pacific island one: Blue lagoon is very relaxing cause the water is hot and the weather very cold, a natural spa very pleasant.The entrance is not free, check discounted prices.

Afternoon spa  in this Blue lagon was a great experience to do absolutly, it was just simple relaxing.

Geysir formations are sharp and splashes can be dangerous

 or even burning and reach unimaginable heights.

For joining Gullfoss, the road covered with snow merged with the environment and the snowy white sky,

like a mirror that was no longer any distinction guidance, our local guide, driver veteran was able to drive safely without incident, a real feat

Wonderful waterfalls

Pingvellir mountain

                               Greenhouse growing is a great alternative fueling flowers, food, etc ...

           Nearest the port, a fine dining at Tveir Fiska after tasting viking beer ( local drink ) in a pub. 
                         Dolphin carpaccio

                             And a whale steak
