September - end of the season? No way...Iceland is an amazing place to stay!
One week before our Icelandic trip, we spent few hours googling and planning our 6 days trip around Iceland. We were hesitating if to do only the southern part of the island, only the triangle or to do the whole island. And you know what? We have managed to travel around the Iceland in 6 days!!
Yes, we booked the car with the Green Motions, then we calculated distances for 5 days, we have chosen top places and lagoons to see, then we booked accommodations...and finally we packed our two luggages and the whisky (in case):).
From Keflavik to the Golden Circle
OMG, it was so windy! when we arrived to Keflavik. The car rental company the Green Motion was very organized. They picked us up at the airport and they brought us to the office. Then we could start our road trip. The trip started with the famous Golden Circle.
Gullfoss waterfall was really worth to see! It was really amazing place... And of course you should not miss on the way the Geysir spring area.
The night under the Skogafoss waterfall
We have booked the accommodation right under the waterfall. It was a nice morning there. We could see the green nature with the cup of the coffee in our hands (very relaxing). We have manged to climbed it as well:)
Icelagoon
Oh we were so looking forward to this trip. We took the bout trip on the glacier lagoon so we could see and touch the 1000 years old icebergs:). The excursion took us about 40 minutes and included an English speaking guide who explained the facts of the lagoon. Then we spent quit time to take some nice pictures. Really beautiful place to stay. Do not forget to dress the warm clothes:) winter jacket is fine to have.
Bluelagoon
We have spent couple of hours in the few lagoons on the Iceland. The last day before our flight we have enjoyed the time in the Blue lagoon. I do not have to comment on this spa and treatments. You will see when you experience it. You should definitely not to leave the Iceland before this relax. And!! You can book the dinner at the LAVA restaurant, as we did before our flight back home. The food is delicious. We have ordered 4 courses tasting menu which was really amazing.
Akureyri
Akureyri is the town with a soul. We met amazing people there. Thanks to Iceland family, we could experience the history, art and the life differently. And we could see the aurora:) so the mission was accomplished:)).
Reykjavik
I was nicely impressed with the town and its streets and shops. I loved it! especially to walk in the evening...
Internet and payments
This is the fact to mention. We did not bring any local cash. Everywhere you pay by cards ( I mean even in a little shop in the middle of the nowhere:). We booked some attractions a night before, again internet is everywhere accessible...
