Found a great cottage in the town of Borgarnes on the west coast. Thought we'd stay here a couple days and have been here for 4! We've been making day trips.We visited the local swimming pool the first night.Every town has one!Big Bear could take a tip from Iceland.Indoor and Outdoor pool and 3 "Hot Pots" at different temps.They're amazing.Most are heated naturally.We headed east the 2nd day to Husafell and Reykholt.Visited a museum in Reykholt and saw very cool falls in Husafell called Hraunfossar.They come from under a lava bed!Also saw Barnafoss where the river is pounding through a gorge.Pretty awesome sight!Yesterday morning we were able to see the Northern Lights!!!!!It's our 3rd viewing but definitely this was the best show.
Yesterday (Thur) we headed up to Snaefellsnes Peninsula.Beautiful drive with a bit of everything Iceland has to offer.We saw glaciers, icecaps, lava fields, beaches, sea cliffs, fishing villages and even a troll!
Off to Reykjavik today, I believe, where we'll do some shopping and set up horseback riding.
