So it’s been 2 weeks since I’ve been back and I still can’t stop talking about Iceland. It is the most amazing place I’ve ever been and the only way I think I’ll be able to top the trip is if / when I go back.
I could- and I have been- talking about Iceland pretty much constantly since I got back. I will be talking about it unless people beg me to stop. I loved it so much! I could write a million words about my trip, but I will spare you that. What I AM going to do is share three of my favorite things from the trip.
#1 Secret Lagoon. Everyone has heard of Blue Lagoon. This is different. Secret Lagoon is a 100% natural hot springs fed pool and it’s the oldest one in Iceland. You can actually hear the hot springs bubbling behind you while you relax. It doesn’t have a spa, hotel, or fancy restaurant, but it’s breathtakingly beautiful and soooooooo relaxing.
#2 The Reykjavik Cat Walk. There are quite a few shops in downtown Reykjavik that have “shop cats”. Some of them are owned by the shop owner, some of them just live near by. Many of these cats have 100K instagram followers and they are known worldwide. We also had really good hot chocolate mid tour! (pictured here is Ofilia)
#3 The waterfalls. Iceland has many, many waterfalls. And they are gorgeous. Some of them don’t have names. Sometimes up to 8 different waterfalls have the same name. I can’t pronounce the names of any of them. But most of the ones I saw looked like they were out of a fantasy movie- and some of them have been!
Iceland was everything I wanted it to be and more. The entire country is beautiful. Even though the weather wasn’t always perfect we were surrounded by the most amazing sights I’ve ever seen everywhere we went. It was damn near perfect.
