So, David and I made it home safe and sound and as I sit here in his apartment in NYC I cannot help but think back fondly our our amazing trip to Reykjavik, Iceland. It was entirely too short but well worth the effort. Since we did one big thing each day there wasn’t a lot of downtime for us to just enjoy for the sake of enjoying. Thinking back, I’d've loved to been able to just walk around, sit on a park bench or just lay on the moss covered lava rocks. I felt such a sense of peace there … I can’t wait to go back. We’ve already begun talking about a possible quick trip back … I guess we’ll see.
For our last few hours in the city, David and I made our way down to the harbor to check out the area there. On the advice of Pink reader Hona, we sought out a place called The Sea Baron to try their lobster soup — OMG, it was just delicious beyond belief. Much, much love to you Hona for the suggestion … I’m so glad we got to sup there before we had to leave. We did a bit more shopping in the area — the Icelandic handcrafted items are so beautiful, I had a hard time not buying everything in sight. David and I took great pains to make sure everything we bought was made in Iceland out of Icelandic materials. I brought home a few wool hats, a pair of soft and waterproof gloves and lots of books and runic items. Here are a few pics of our last hours in Iceland. To my glee and amazement, we saw a huge full, clear rainbow as we were driving towards the airport … it was the most beautiful rainbow I have ever seen in my life, these pics do not do it justice:
Additionally, as if seeing that full rainbow wasn’t cool enough, as we were flying away from the Iceland coast, I saw another rainbow below the plane reach from the clouds to the ground below … you really can’t see it in the cameraphone pic I snapped but … it was just beautiful.
Our flight home was lovely, Icelandair is a great carrier … wonderful service, great amenities and really comfy, roomy seats. David and I somehow got the best seats in the coach area so we were very pleased.
