The Adventures of Scotty, Sue and Dan Aboard Narnia (and other adventures)
We took a nice 7 mile walk around Reykjavik. Many of the stores and attractions are still closed and maybe a handful or two of tourists. Highlights of our walk today included the Braud & Co Bakery (delicious croissants), the Hallgrimskirkja Chapel (closed), the Old Town Harbor area including the dry docks which Dan loved, […]
After leaving the Blue Lagoon, we traveled along the road to explore some of the local landmarks on the way to Reykjavik. Our 1st stop was at Reykjanesviti Lighthouse (Dan love’s lighthouses!) for a quick photo op as it was closed to visitors. We then moved down the gravel road to the beach to visit […]
Every travel book, article, blog, or guide says that you can’t go to Iceland without a visit to the Blue Lagoon Spa. It was “along the way” on the drive from our quarantine hotel in Keflavik to our hotel in Reykjavik so we decided it was a good time to plan a visit. We book […]
We worked with Iceland Tours to book our Hotels and to put together a loose itinerary of things to see and do during our stay in Iceland. This will be a self driving tour completing a circumnavigation around the country in just over 12 days. The idea is to see as much as we can […]
We landed at the empty Keflavik airport at roughly 6AM local time on 5/15/2021. We were here! It’s kind of surreal to realize that after all the isolation, life pauses, canceled plans, and hic ups that we’ve actually made it. Now we just need to see if they will let us in! Covid-19 testing on […]
We are finally off to Iceland. We flew from Oakland to Seattle on 5/13/2021 were we spent the night. The Seattle airport was a culture shock to say the lease. We have been social distancing / isolating for over a year and boarding in OAK was quiet and a bit sedate. When we exited into […]
For folks that have been following this blog, you know that we have been trying to book travel to Iceland since our China trip was canceled in early 2020. They say that the 3rd time is the charm! We are now confirmed for Airline, Hotel, 4WD Rental Car for travel to Iceland in May 2021. […]
We received the an email this morning. Iceland is opening up travel for vaccinated Americans. We are both vaccinated and anxious to move on with travel life. It’s time to take bucket list planning off of pause! Let the travel begin!
Ok.. This COVID thing is getting old. Iceland open for travel, but not for Americans. Our bucket list is not going to happen this year. It looks like we can’t get our money back from Iceland Tours, but they will allow us to apply it to future travel. Iceland Air is also holding our ticket […]
COVID is spreading and countries, including the US and Iceland, are closing their borders to travel. Lets hope this clears up soon. We are rescheduling for October 2020. Let’s hope this works.
Our bucket list trip to China was canceled this month for obvious reasons as the country goes on lockdown. Iceland, which is also on our bucket list is still open. We are moving a self guided drive around the country to the top of our bucket list. We engaged Iceland Tours on February 6th to […]
