Iceland
Trip - August-September, 2012
This 8-day trip to Iceland via Goose Bay, Labrador, was amazing. We saw most
of the country during a 1050 mile
drive that took us from Reykjavik, the Blue Lagoon, a visit to Harpa the new
Opera House, Gulfoss Falls, Haukdalur,
Vik, Klaustur, Lagoon Jokkulsarlon (boat tour of Iceburgs), Vagnsstadir (snowmobiling
on Iceland's largest
glacier), Hofn, Egilsstadir, Lake Myatan (Nature baths), Hverarond (boiling
mudpots), Krafla, Akureyri (Iceland's
second largest city), and return to Reykjavik.
Falcon 10 to
the right was our ride from Washington to Illinois. The Falcon 50 to the left
was our ride to Iceland.
