Some time around the very beginning of my stay here, my host mom offered to take me for a drive around our area, which I thought was a great idea. We saw a little bit of everything, but I especially enjoyed the latter part, as it had more nature.
 |
| Our first stop was the pier, to look at both ships and the city. |
 |
| See? Hallgrímskirkja. You can't hide from it. |
Next stop: ljóshúsið/lighthouse.
 |
| There's actually a strip of land that connects the lighthouse to the mainland, but at high tide it's underwater. |
 |
| The black sand is just gorgeous. |
 |
| Those dots near the shore are birds. The land around the lighthouse is kind of a haven for them--it was lovely to see so many happy little birds and their chicks. |
Short post, I know, but it was a trip I remember fondly, so I thought I'd share it. More to come!
