[quote=Anonymous]You can’t really go wrong with any of the lagoons IMO. Sky Lagoon, Myvatn, Forest Lagoon, Krauma, Hvammsik…all great. Blue Lagoon was still amazing even though people call it a tourist trap, but you have to be flexible because it could be closed for the volcano at any time. I’m glad I got to go at least once in case it has to close for good. Absolutely insane driving through lava fields to get there. Some of it was still smoking when we were there. Felt like another planet.

We did the Ring Road and it was all fun, but I wish I had more time in the East Fjords. All of Iceland is beautiful, but it is absolutely breathtaking in the East. If you’re adventurous and don’t mind a butt-clenching drive up and down switchbacks with hairpin turns on a dirt road, I highly suggest venturing out to Mjóifjörður. The Klifbrekku Waterfall is there (and the entire dang mountain around you is dripping in waterfalls) and at the bottom there is a WWII shipwreck just chilling at the waterline in the middle of a totally unspoiled gorgeous fjord. It was a last minute decision to go there and one of my favorites of the trip.

The one stop we made I could’ve passed on was Hverir. It’s boiling mud pits in the north part of the country. It’s interesting, especially if you like science and geology, but the smell was stomach-churning.

We didn’t spend too much time in Reykjavík, but the Reykjavik Fish Restaurant was great. Stop and get a traditional lopapeysa from The Handknitting Association of Iceland.[/quote]
