After Janet and Phil spent a day and half on the Snaefellnes Peninsula, they drove to Reykjavik where they stayed two nights in a super apartment. It was brand new and really nice. Tons of Brits travel to Iceland. The apartment above was occupied with four British woman. Janet suspects they brought their own groceries from the U.K. and took advantage of the kitchen.
They really didn't have a firm plan for the second day, so set out in the car to two destinations that were off the beaten tourist track...for a reason!
Beautiful sky:
They thought the first destination was a town, but turned out to be the name of an area. The highlight was the traffic jam.
Tons of cute guys! There were three goats within the flock of sheep and the three of them held tight together.
They kept driving on and took the turn off to the highest waterfall in Iceland. Incredible planners that they are, they were shocked the falls wasn't roadside! Add insult to injury and now you have to walk into the falls! Horror of all horrors! No sneakers allowed and you have to traverse a log across a river. This is so not happening! Plus, it's almost lunch time!
They then drove to Arkanes, which had a nice old lighthouse. There were some old fish drying racks.
This town also had a small, really pretty church.
And an old school movie theatre.
Phil thought it prudent to purchase a jacket that matched the bike rental system in Reykjavik.
This church is one of the tourist sights in Reykjavik. The construction was undertaken by family of two carpenters and took more than 40 years to build.
Lost mitten rack in the city.
Pretty rocks and the beautiful Symphony building.
