ICELAND PT. 5 // SCENES FROM THE ROAD

As you can see from the angle of some of these, I literally took them out of the window of the car while my sister was driving.  Mind blowing scenery everywhere. The lonely stretches of road were so gorgeous, so majestic, and so diverse. These were taken gradually from leaving Selfoss to nearing the north towards Husavik (these were from a couple days but all in all a stretch of about 6 or 7 hours).  I had so many from the car window I thought they deserved their own little post.  I also wanted to prove that although the ring road may seem like a lot of driving if you are fitting into a week or so, but clearly so worth it.  Everything was absolutely photo worthy along the way.

ICELAND PART 1 : EXPLORING REYKJAVIK

I really had to work up to these Iceland posts, there is just so much amazingness, so many photos, so many things to say about this amazing country.  After spending the weekend in New York we had a late (10:30pm) flight to Keflavik (the airport is about 40 minutes from central Reykjavik).  It was a short and relaxing 5 hour flight (New York was nice to break up the trip for my sister who was coming from San Francisco).  We arrived at 8:00am (4 hour time difference from the East Coast) and checked into Rey Apartments (photo above).  It was just the cutest little apartment and walking distance from the main road in Reykjavik.  Plus surrounded by several coffee shops and other restaurants.  We left our days in Reykjavik open and didn't plan any sightseeing or tours. We used our time there to stroll around, go shopping, and of course try some of the amazing coffee that was recommended to us.  These are mostly photos from wandering around the first day.  We also spent our last day here which we again just shopped around and ate good food...
