Icy Reykjavik

We arrived at the cabin hotel; Reykjavik, Iceland at 2am Saturday morning. It was -3 degrees and gustily like Wellington. The crisp air was refreshing and at the same time, ear numbing.
Icelandic water is known to be the best in the world as it does not contain additives such as chlorine and is free of contaminants and heavy metals.

We spent Saturday on the Golden Circle Tour. It is a journey around the outer region of Reykjavik. You can also purchase a CD with audio commentary of each location. During the tour, we visited waterfalls, geysirs, a crater and a historic village that has been excavated to uncover its political history. On Saturday night, we went on a Northern Lights Tour but unfortunately the sighting was very faint and impossible to take a photo of.

We indulged in a relaxation session at the blue lagoon. The sulphuric milky is a great treatment for the skin. After 4 hours, it was time to head back to the cabin. Although we did visit the Hallgrimur’s Church, it was covered with scaffolding around the front exterior but inside was amazing as expected. Above the entrance was a pipe organ with 5275 pipes. By now, time was running out but we managed to see the Perlan and Government House.

Reykjavik is an amazing City with so much history. For all that are planning on visiting, I recommend you stay for at least 4 days.
