Fire, Ice, and Everything In Between: 11 Days Circling Iceland

 Iceland had been sitting on the "someday" list for years, mostly because every video about it starts with a drone shot of a waterfall and ends with someone standing in front of a glacier looking personally victorious. So this June, we finally went and did the thing: flew in, gave ourselves three full days to settle into Reykjavík, then handed the driving over to a small-group BusTravel tour (booked through GetYourGuide) for a 7-day loop around the entire Ring Road and the Snæfellsnes Peninsula, before one last night back in the capital. Here's how it went, plus the food we're still thinking about.

Do you want fresh air with views close to east bay and not have to travel miles north or south ? Do you want to bike and have nice views at the same time?

Getting to this park is easy drive to Santa cruz and if you want to park inside the park, it is $10 and there are some spots outside the park as well but with some walk. Parking lot has restrooms. We went on to explore “ Old landing Cove Trail ” and the trail in itself is easy 2.4 mile roundtrip where we can hike or bike. You will see trail with fresh air and bushes until u get to beautiful views of the coastline and you can see waves welcoming you in their own way. As you walk along you see parking lot for seals and we came across two curious ones who were in...
