Iceland Day 1
On the first day we arrived, we went straight to pick up our rental mini-jeep and drove towards the Golden Circle.
We did a quick stop at the street food market in Selfoss and from there the Kerid Crater was just 15 minutes away.
Next stop was the mighty Gullfoss, probably the most iconic waterfall on Iceland. The water in Hvítá is from the glacier Langjökull and drops 32 meters down in two dramatic waterfalls.
There is a huge parking lot just next to the water fall and very “family friendly” walking paths all the way alongside as well.
Our third stop on this tour was the Geysirs. It is located in valley Haukadalur and is just south of the Gullfoss fall. The entire area is very active and it is free of charge to enter.
After visiting the Geysir area we drove towards Reykjavik to end the day in the Sky Lagoon. Originally, we had booked for Sunday (but this was Friday), but when we checked the weather forecast the day before, Friday just looked very nice for the weather and Sunday looked rainy and windy. we re-booked and that turned out to be a very good idea. As we entered the geo-pool at the Sky Lagoon the sun came out and we had such a good visit to this beautiful hot spring.
After the Sky Lagoon we checked in at The Edition hotel and had lobster dogs, truffle fries and a glass of wine before heading to bed early after an amazing first day.
As the sun doesn’t set before 11.20PM, we arrived and went to bed by full sunlight…
