March 27th, 2017 was the first day I woke up in this tiny magnificent country. I had planned this vacation with my oldest daughter for the past 9 months, and although I tried not to have an itinerary, I couldn't help but plan how I would cram all the sights I wanted to see in just six short days. Google Earth is one of my most visited websites, so I had ample opportunity to explore the areas I would visit. Number one on my list was South Iceland.
Normally, March in Iceland is dreary and cold, but for whatever reason, we were blessed with clear and sunny skies. I couldn't help but think this was a gift from Odin and Frigg. The first stop was Seljalandsfoss (yes, that took me awhile to learn how to spell without looking it up!), and this beautiful waterfall can be seen for literally miles it is so tall. My wet cheeks hurt after spending about an hour here.
We also stopped at Skogafoss, a very wide and powerful waterfall not to be missed! I have the full daily blog here.
Our last stop in South Iceland was in a tiny town called Vik. It is a bit touristy because it is so quaint, and the little red and white church is iconic of this town which sits at the base of a few volcanoes. Black sand beaches, waterfalls, sunshine and smiles-can you get any better than that?
