Saturday, June 4: Arrive Reykjavik
We arrive to Reykjavik early this morning – and enjoy a traditional Icelandic breakfast before heading out to the Snæfellsnes Peninsula. The enchanting landscape has beautiful mountain ranges, numerous beaches, lava caves, waterfalls and mineral hot springs and at the end of the peninsula is the majestic Snæfellsjokull volcano made famous in Jules Verne’s Journey to the Center of Earth. We’re staying in Stykkisholmur town (pop.1,100) on the north side of the Snæfellsnes peninsula; this is one ofIceland’s most picturesque fishing villages with beautiful 19th century architecture. We’ll enjoy a short sightseeing tour of the town. There are also museums, cafes and small boutiques in the center of the town.
It was Rhonda’s birthday and we celebrated it in style. Red and white wine along with some bubblies and good wishes.
Our guide is amazing.
