We had a great time despite the terrible weather. Difficult driving conditions (we rented a car) added to the adventure! We did not get to do everything on the itinerary, either because of time, weather, or we just decided to pass on a couple of things. Do not miss the Freidheimar tomato farm. The tomato soup and breads are the best.

Blue Lagoon was a great way to start the trip. Ice cave tour was amazing. Thingvellir is incredible from an historic and geological perspective.

We are talking about going back for 3-4 days in Spring or Summer just to stay in Reykjavik and maybe do some days trips from there.

What a great way to sample local food. Hot dog was great, fermented shark not so much. But you must try it followed by a shot of ice cold Brennevin. Our tour guide was Magnussen. He was amazing. 2 hour tour turned into 4 because we were just talking about all kinds of stuff.
