Gullfoss Waterfall

Waterfalls
The green against the waterfalls is so lovely. Each falls is more amazing than the next.

Me, The Blue Lagoon

The Famous Blue Lagoon
Our first trip to the Blue Lagoon was in 2012. It was lovely. We longed to return. On arrival in 2016 or 17 we found many changes. They added a swim up bar and many young people were loud and drinking a bit too much. Fortunately, as you say it is fairly easy to find a quiet corner to enjoy. I loved it more before the swim up bar and yes, everyone needs this experience.

Final Entry
It is always sad when these adventures come to an end but you packed in so much I'm sure there were no regrets. Plus it is always great getting home and sleeping in your own bed. Congrats! I knew you wouldn't have extra charges on the car but it is a worry until you turn it back in. I hope you can keep in touch with your guide it sounds like you had a connection. Bravo for helping the Swiss couple make their connections. We've done the same thing in the past. We need to help one another! What a marvelous summer trip. Thanks for taking us along. MJ

Final Entry
Ah, thank you for following MJ and Dave. It was an epic adventure for me, and really on my doorstep being so close to home. It just goes to show you don't have to go far to experience wonder and beauty in this world. The guide was a special person, and it was indeed lovely to help fellow travellers. This journey has come to an end, but like you both, there's another one coming up right around the corner! Thank you so much for reading and commenting, it really means a lot to me 😊

We know the stress of waiting to return the rental car. Remind me to tell you the story of my drive in Scotland!

Ah, since rental cars are new experiences for me, this is also a new stress for me - I understand now! I look forward to hearing your story from Scotland 😊

Jules Verne leads you to new experiences
Dave and I were just discussing that we've never read Journey to the Centre of the Earth. Looks like we will add that to our list. You are very intuitive and sensed your landlord was famous. I doubt he likes a fuss. Ah, no longer a fraud.... no one would have expected you to experience every thing you taught. But, what a delight you had a great trip. You need to trust the crampons! Your word pictures are excellent and felt we were right there with you. We've walked on glaciers in Alaska and New Zealand. Hopefully, you'll get to both locations soon.

Jules Verne
Ah, it is a wonderful book, and I was so happy to be in its location. Jules Verne is such an inspirational writer, full of adventure and discovery. This part of Iceland was definitely a highlight of my summer travels this year. I would love to add Alaska and New Zealand to my list of visited places. "Trust the crampons", lol! 😊

Reykjanes Hotel

Could be Hotel Irkutsk
It was my first impression too that it looked Eastern European/Russian. The photo could have been taken in Irkutsk or Murmansk. /Ake

Lol, that seems a good name for it! Straight out of the Soviet Union sanitorium days!
