Iceland Part 2: Nature



The highlight of our trip was visiting the highlands on a super jeep and enjoying a 2.5-hour hike and hot spring dip in Laundmannalaugar (pronounced: land-manna-lawyer).
There's magic around every bend: the rocks, the lava, the colours, the flora, the water, the air. Iceland is magical! And, yes,  I do believe that elves live in that part of the country.
Our hike gave us a taste of what we will do when (not if) we come back. Hiking was majestic, friendly and full of wonder. Although we were alone, I felt great serenity and in presence of caring magical creatures.



The trail we did was the Greænagil (Green Valley) and was very hiker-friendly by having little white posts along the way (to make sure that you're on the right track). We walked through snow, lava field, water, moss.
