We have been to Iceland three times (four if you count changing planes), and I want to go back again. There are places to see, things to do, people to meet, foods to enjoy.
Iceland is at risk of being over-touristed, especially in the summer.
Eyjafjallajökull...I followed the news about its eruption and how it caused major disruption to air travel in Western Europe. At that time I was teaching so one day I wrote Eyjafjallajökull on the board and greeted the students with a great big EYJAFJALLAJOKULL! when they were seated. The look on their faces...it was a quick current events lesson.
Iceland and Finland are both on my bucket list. The US is fine, but it is far better to get out of the four walls of the US and see what's out there. It's a big world and many places.
Oh the parts of Eyjafjallajökull! that I don't understand. Iceland can seem somewhat remote and barren but your photographs show the life and the beauty of the natural and manmade surroundings.
I have always heard wonderful things about Reykjavik. And I had to go and look up Eyjafjallajökull!
ReplyDeleteWhat does it mean, I didn't buy the t-shirt.
DeleteI can never get past that wonderful and quite modern church.
ReplyDeleteThere is an elevator to the top of the bell tower.
