Day 2 of our 6-day tour and pumped about seeing the northern lights last night. It’s was overcast and snowy all day today, so no repeat of that tonight, but we had a good day with a stop at glacier lagoon to see the small calved bits from the glacier - mini ice bergs.
At our gas station lunch stop (good lobster bisque) we bought some typical Icelandic chocolate with licorice. We thought it would be flavoured, but no. It’s a bar of milk chocolate with a stick of licorice embedded into it. Can’t say it was a favourite. Steve had plain licorice chocolate and mind said “pepper”, but we couldn’t really tell the difference. It took hours to get rid of the licorice flavour from our mouths.
Views from the road on the way to the ice cave in trucks with 46” tires, which they deflated down to 9psi from 30psi to navigate the sharp lava rock road.
It was a 30 min hike to the cave and it was awesome.
We drank from the glacier stream and found small signs of vegetation (mother of thyme)
Just finished a great meal with some of our tour mates. Great chatting with couple/singles from Ireland, Brazil, Columbia, Australia, China, The Netherlands, Germany, US (San Diego and Colorado) and a fellow Canadian from Alberta. Plus, of course, the guide from Iceland.. A truly international group. Lots of beer, laughter and great conversation.
