Land of the Vikings - Days 6 & 7

​Day 6 was really boring cause we had to drive 6 hours back to Reykjavik. We were supposed to take this F-Road to Hella (I love that name) but it was pouring down so we didn’t.

​
Day 7 was my last full day in Iceland so we did Reykjavik! The capital is really different but very pretty, we first visited the Iceland Museum and that was pretty cool. I loved the architecture of the city with the colourful roofs and the Harpa building is worth a visit. Argentinian steak houses in Reykjavik are very popular and very good. The capital also has many bars which are very cool to visit and hangout in.

One monument to visit there is the Hallgrimskirja, it has really beautiful views of the city at the top and the inside is very unexpected at least for me it was. Last place I visited was Kringlan which was a mall. Compared to US malls this mall is so much cooler! I didn't buy anything which is crazy, but I really had no more room in my suitcase. But my cousin went to Dressmann and bought some stuff, and the lady whom works there asked me why I was here in Iceland.

I said that I know it was a beautiful country and my favorite band Kaleo was from here. Turns out her brother went to school with Rubin and now plays soccer with Rubin frequently. I was freaking out so badly cause it felt like a small world in Iceland compared to the US or Europe. Like if I asked a random guy in Iceland “who is Kaleo” they would most likely know, but it wouldn't be the case really in the USA or Europe unfortunately.

After we left the awesome store with the girl, we went to Reykjanesbaer to find this really really really good pizza place. Seriously the best pizza crust ever made. After that whole entire trip I really enjoyed all of my time there and will go back very soon to visit anything that I missed and the Northern part of the island.
​
​
Iceland is truly a place where it cleared up my mind or I guess you could say “the elves spoke to me” since they believe in fantasies. Even thought it was a short 1 week I will always remember all these crazy things in this tiny country (This country may seem small but it is huge).

Land of the Vikings - Day 5

Vatnajökull National Park day! I was actually so scared of this, but I said to myself you have to walk on the glacier cause you might never get the chance again. We put on our hiking boots and walk on the glacier with these spikes that remind me of Wolverine lmao. 
The awesome British tour guide moves every 6 months to travel as much as he can (he’s 22 btw). Arron the tour guide actually loves Kaleo too! But anyway we hiked on this glacier for 6 hours and it was so beautiful, but thank God I didn't fall into a crevasse and die… that’s what I was scared about lol.  After leaving the glacier we went to this really cool place called Fjallsárlón Glacier Lagoon. It’s a lake with turquoise icebergs in the water of course. Unfortunately we were on the wrong side so we got yelled at by these scientists. We still didn't go on the right side afterwards, but we saw the same stuff as them anyway. Afterwards we were planning on going to Hali which is 15 minutes away but since I'm co-pilot I messed up for once in my life. We ended up driving 1 hour to Höfn! I had never messed up giving directions, but I guess I ran out of luck. We drove back to Hali and slept there.
