I’ve spent the past couple of evenings looking through the last of the thousands (yes, thousands!) of photos that I took in Iceland and reminiscing about Reykjavik, the final leg of our trip. I’ll post a bit about our time exploring the world’s most northerly capital city later this week, but first I want to share some pictures of the stunning apartment we stayed in.

Iceland | The south coast, Vík & Jökulsárlón
More from our recent adventures in Iceland today. After our stay at the wonderful Ion Hotel, we headed southeast towards the little coastal town of Vík.
