Kvernufoss

THE AMERICAN SCHOOLBUS CAFÉ, Hella

Hrunalaug Hot Springs
$ - Everyone raves about this pizza place and there is a reason! As a native New Jersian who is picky about their pizza, this spot is definitely tasty. They also have beer and drinks on tap, which was perfect for after a hike.

I researched many tattoo places in Iceland, but this one stood out to me from the rest. I ended up getting a decently large back piece from Anna, the owner, and it turned out beautifully. Anna sat with me for an hour and just chatted about life befor...
