Wow. Wow. Wow.
Iceland is fantastic. Cold. Rainy. But so pretty!! The city was kinda like most European cities that I've been to. But when you go off the beaten path - it is beautiful!!!
Unfortunately, when I got into Reykjavik and tried to get some money for a bus, my card wasn't working. So I couldn't make it to church. :( Instead I walked around the city, finding some neat churches and cool buildings.
I found some Russian people (I heard them as they were coming out of a store) and followed them around a little bit. Intentionally? Maybe yes, maybe no. But it was fun to listen to them speak! I miss havng Russian being spoken all around me.
Then I saw on the map a geothermal beach. So of course I had to check it out.
And then I started wandering, and found myself on a trail that would take me through some woods (don't worry Mom, I wasn't wandering aimlessly around through the woods - I had a destination in mind and a map). It. was. GORGEOUS. I couldn't stop gawking and taking pictures. I never knew Iceland had pinetrees and this type of greenery - always just thought it hilly with grass growing on the lava rocks.
But this was beautiful and I probably spent a good couple hours just inside these woods. Iceland is expensive enough with food and transportation from the airport. So I would highly suggest walking and exploring - find the woods and get lost in them! They are magical :)
I even stumbled across some old WWII bunkers on the hill in a clearing of the woods! That was neat and unexpected.
Absolutely breathtaking! So cool. Thanks for sharing, Jess! I hope you got your card working.
