Icelanders seem to love hot dogs and pizza, every small town diner, gas station and also found downtown Reykjavik at kaffi shops and food kiosks. I finally tried one at the airport. What's different? Weiner is made from pork, beef, and lamb. Fresh chopped

Oh man! Just saw these complimentary use water wings! Thank goodness the pools are only neckdeep and very salty, which keeps me upright even if I trip on the lava rocks below :P that would be entertaining if I needed to use them ;)

Mm... Enjoying the Blue Lagoon, Blàa Lonið, wirh a nice cold blue coloured raspberry slushie. Life is pretty good right now :)

Icelandic Moss tea. It's earthy, aromas that remind me of Vancouver's forest, mossy, mushrooms, dried leaves, the damp earth. I love it, and also cannot wait to be back in our forests for a hike again.

Discovered a basket of Icelandic Moss for making tea. It's hand picked, medicinal, and is supposed to be healing for colds, specifically lungs. I'm trying some :)

A decent climb to the canyon. Unfortunately i ended being the only oerson there when i got to the canyon, ithe rocks in the stream were kind of too far apart for me to traverse safely on my iwn with camera gear. I only managed 1-2m inwards, befire decidin

OneLushLIfe - Kaishin:
If only I had a lovely companion with me... Too good not to be shared. Chilled white wine by the sea, ordered baked Ling cod (fresh catch), on the patio in a tank top, basking in the sun, and listening to Eider ducks cooing in the distance. I want to grow

Back garden by the beach.
OneLushLIfe - Kaishin:
I've died and gone to heaven. My room has a double bed, private balcony to the garden, in a 1942 heritage house by the beach. First thin upon walking in I saw the modernised kitchen and just about passed out! Such a beautiful place.
