Iceland Day 10 – Exploring Reykjavik and it’s pubs … ~Europe Trip Nov/Dec 2019~

December 21, 2021 by thekellysontour No Comments

As always we were awake early which at times can get frustrating especially when you don’t have an early start but to console ourselves we headed downstairs for breakfast and gorged ourselves on the many offerings.  I highly recommend The Skuggi Hotel here in Reykjavik.  The location can’t be beaten and the facilities and breakfast, along with the pricing really tick alot of boxes.  Stay here if you visit…

Soon we were out on the very cold streets for a wander.  Even though it was 9am it was still quite dark and frosty.

Reykjavik Waterfront

We headed straight to the beautiful Reykjavik Waterfront first up.  It looked so beautiful in early morning light with all of the city lights nearby.  It was actually a great time to be there because there was hardly anyone around yet.

Iceland Day 9 – Ice Cave, Bergs and Beaches …. ~Europe Trip Nov/Dec 2019~

December 16, 2021 by thekellysontour No Comments

THE BEST DAY!  Today was a See, Speak, Write in CAPITAL LETTERS kind of day.  Honestly today is the stuff of travel dreams and unicorns shooting rainbows out of their butts.  Get ready for photo overload because this day will be one for the Kelly History Books my friends.   Buckle up….

Today is Day 2 of our whirlwind “see as much as you can because this place is bloody expensive” bus tour.  To read about Day 1’s awesomeness click HERE.

After what was quite a good sleep considering the less than lavish hotel accom, we gobbled down breakfast and drove to the pick up point for our tour to the glacier and ice cave tour.

Iceland Day 8 – Waterfalls and Black Sand … ~Europe Trip Nov/Dec 2019~

September 28, 2021 by thekellysontour 1 Comment

This visit was from late November 2019 (yes I know it’s taken me a while to write about it lol)

Today was the start of our 2 day adventure exploring the South Coast of Iceland.  It would be so great to do a full loop of Iceland and it’s compact enough to do this across 10-14 days but most people agree that if you have limited time, the biggest highlights are along the South Coast.  Hiring a car isn’t really an option for us because we don’t have experience driving in the wintery conditions that Iceland is known for and I especially didn’t want to drive in the wind conditions I’ve read so much about. Apparently you have to be careful what direction you park your car when it’s windy (which it often is) because if you don’t, your car door can literally nearly be ripped off it’s hinges.  I’ve read so many horror stories involving inexperienced drivers so the decision for us was easy – take a tour!

Reykjavik Day 7 – Travelling to Iceland ……… ~Europe Trip Nov/Dec 2019~

Visit from late November 2019 (yes I know it’s taken me a while to write about it lol)

Today is a GAHTDAMN exciting day!!!!  We are finally heading to Iceland   – we settled on going here in such a roundabout way.  I wanted to do something a little out of the ordinary for The Kelly’s on this trip.  I was first thinking about going to Jungfraujoch which is essentially the “top of Europe”.  It would’ve been a complicated 4 day journey getting to and from Switzerland, travelling to the top, and all with our fingers crossed that once we reached the peak that the weather wasn’t awful with zero visibility etc.  Total worth it if the weather behaved but man would the Sweet Prince of Canberra have been upset to go to all of that effort and literally not be able to see anything.
