Finally, I’m getting to writing about my recent, mind bending, gorgeous, indescribable and sometime inexplicable, trip to Iceland.
I’m sitting at Next Page in Frisco, CO where I’ll be this winter to hang with my very nice boyfriend, Wallace, and watch the snow fall, which just started and doesn’t seem to be stopping, today.
The first pictures, my fave, map pictures. From where I was coming from (after some annoying airport experiences, which ended up being expensive, but who cares! I needed to get to Iceland STAT), Denver to Reykjavik. Then, the most direct route from Keflavik airport to Hotel Budir, which we didn’t take, because I met professional photographer and old friend of Cassie, the bride, Wylda Bayron, and NYC hospitality pro, Leigh at the airport. Leigh had promised a $2 tour of Iceland and we got it.
I love the feel of Icelandair. I fell asleep almost immediately but was charmed, as I’m sure was their goal, by the commentary they left on their seats and pillows. The ceiling also glows with lights resembling the northern lights and I watched a 30 minute film of just northern lights. And then fell very asleep.
We drove south to see the Blue Lagoon, but since we landed at 6:30am we were much too early for the pools to be open. We got out of the car to take our first photos of the amazing lava fields covered in moss and get a shot of the Blue Lagoon structure, but I later learned, we should have walked up to the building. There are pools outside the soaking pools that are gorgeous and you can walk around any time.
Since I can only upload 10 photos at a time, these should be bite sized stories for you. And for me to write :)
