Goodbye Iceland!

 

Here the map of where we have been, with all these unpronounceable names!  

I’m glad I managed to blog every day, because I’ve already forgotten what we did on day 1…..

Last evening, since we were in the south, we came close to seeing the sunset….  It actually does set for almost 3 hours….. but it sets at midnight, and we had a 6:30am pickup, so this is as close as we got to it…..

We loved Iceland, its grand scenery, its interesting history and its friendly inhabitants.   It’s an easy trip from NY…. May be worth planning something in the winter…..

I'll finnish this blog by quoting Halldor Laxness, the only person from Iceland to win a Nobel prize in literature (in 1955).   He said:

"Where the glacier meets the sky, the land ceases to be earthly, and the earth becomes one with the heavens;  no sorrows live there any more, and therefore joy is not necessary; beauty alone reigns there, beyond all demands".
