items If you have ever thought about Iceland, it is a must. Great people, great food, great scenery! You won't forget it!
Sometimes the volcanoes are not spewing lava in Iceland so be sure to go to the Lava Show. A great lesson in how lava works and you can feel the heat!

The Sky Lagoon is just outside of Reykjavik and is a closer alternative to the Blue Lagoon. Not only do you get the warm water but you also get a 7 step spa ritual. Do it and jump right into the cold water….no other way!

There are several different Puffin tours. Ours went to a nearby island to photograph and watch the Puffins from the boat. Others go to a large island south Vik. Don't miss the Puffins in the summer months.

Waterfalls, Geysers and Tectonic plates are highlights on the Golden Circle. A great way to get into the country and really see Iceland.

The first thing you should do on any big trip is take a walking tour of the city. Our guide showed us the sights, explained the history, told us where to shop and eat. I even texted him to confirm the name of a restaurant.

Of course if you are going to Iceland you need a good place to stay. The Alda is located just a few blocks from the Rainbow Road with shops and restaurants nearby. A nice buffet breakfast and clean, quiet rooms.
