Iceland

Our volcano bear dance didn’t do anything to wake the volcano. Onto plan B - look for the elves, otherwise known as Huldufólk. According to a …

After the volcano, we stopped at some beach, where the near gale force winds were still definitely present. In fact, it caused a door to rip out of …

At this point we’ve been in Iceland for a number of days, and that volcano that Pokin dragged us over here to see has been staying mum. Not a …

Of course the next morning Pokin wanted to get up for sunrise photos. At least since it was October, sunrise was later and breakfast was already open. …

My bud explained to me that, even though we were done with waterfalls, we’d be going somewhere very wet. We were to spend the day with my …

Somehow we make every trip about photos and food. Apparently Pokin wasn’t happy with feeding my bud cold cinnamon buns on his first day here, so …

We had one more waterfall to catch for the day. Seljalandsfoss, AKA the most photographed waterfall in Iceland was our last stop. It means …

Pokin wasn’t done with waterfalls for the day. She next mapped us to Gljúfrafoss. Apparently it’s known as one of the wettest hikes in …

This morning Pokin actually read up on the Aurora Borealis in Iceland. Turns out, while September and March are supposed to be the best times to see …

Night came and I was actually tired enough to fall asleep, being creeped out about Hotel Ranga notwithstanding. Before we slept though, we put in a …

Skógafoss was the next waterfall on our list. It’s also one of two waterfalls on basically every single tour to the South Coast of Iceland. In …

The next morning I was dragged up again at what I think was nearly sunrise. I think it was nearly sunrise because it was pouring rain…so …

By the time we got to Vík, my bud and I were exhausted. We’d gotten up for sunrise and then climbed around 3 different glaciers. Tonight we were …

Once Pokin washed up and dried off, we had a hearty breakfast and set off towards Vík. Incidental note, the Foss Hotel Glacier Lagoon has an excellent …

Way too early in the morning the next day, the alarm went off and I was thrown into a bag. Off we went to Breiðamerkursandur, also known as Diamond …

After I got over the shock of going somewhere dark and wet and cold, I started to get a little excited for our trip. We rented a 4-wheel drive SUV …

Shortly after my Costa Rica escape, they wrapped me back up in a bearrito towel to suffer in darkness. This went on for months. “The house is …

I’ve been told by many that Iceland is a beautiful place. I’m sure it is, if I could have seen any of it. I found Iceland to be really …

To make up for the inconvenience of missing our flights and landing us in a completely different country than we were supposed to be at, Iceland Air …

So we’ve missed our flight and we’re stuck in Iceland overnight. At least Iceland Air arranged for us to stay in a hotel. And then we …

So my bear bud tells me we’re in Keflavík, Iceland. I thought we were supposed to be in London. It seems like we missed our flight. And the one …

Except we’re not. Nick tells me we’re going on an epic trip. Then I woke up on the plane to hear about some sort of mechanical failure of …
