We both slept soooo well.
The hotel is so warm since the temperature increased!
We had the window open and I had ear plugs in…. Bliss. Out for the count until 6ish and then back to sleep until 8.15.
We’ve been really lucky as we expected torrential rain today, and yet it’s been dry almost all day.
We decided to head to Perlan today which is an Icelandic nature museum.
We walked 46 minutes from our hotel to get to it.
The lake is still frozen but it’s rained on the top of it and it’s melting so it looks like a mirror.

The view was so pretty.

You would never know the lake was still icy.

The cones are sitting on the ice to allow a digger out to the small island.

Pretty bridge.

Perlan is huge and it’s great for a rainy day.

Not gonna lie, it’s probably not my favourite thing to do in Reykjavik as I’d rather be outside seeing the actual things, rather than in a museum, looking at them. We thought it would be a good idea for a wet day.
They have an ice cave. Craig is sitting on an ice throne! 😆

The colours are so pretty in some places, white and clear in others.

It’s -10°C in the ice cave!

This was really pretty. There’s a mirror down the bottom here, designed to show the layers going on and on and on. The colour is amazing.


Ice cave selfie! 🤳

We headed upstairs to the coffee shop as we hadn’t eaten this morning.
As usual in Iceland, the cakes and the coffee are amazing. Honestly so so good.

I took the first photo over Reykjavik…. The next 3 photos are the same view as the clouds rolled in… we then realised that the view outside is slightly different, who knew it was a revolving restaurant on top of Perlan! It’s so slight that you don’t really notice!!




We then went outside on the 360° panoramic decking.

More beautiful views over Reykjavik.

Cloud inversion!

Looking down to Hallgrimskirkja.

We then went in to the Planetarium for the Aurora show…. These are my photos but only of the Aurora they show at the start for photos.



Our Aurora trip was cancelled due to cloud so we have to make do with this!
Early afternoon we walked back down into Reykjavik.
These are famous Icelandic felted soap bars… we love them but at £17 a pop we haven’t bought any…. 😆

Craig spotted this Christmas tree made out of felted sheep!

Back around past Hallgrimskirkja, on a much cloudier day than Saturday.

I never noticed before today but all the planters have these lovely flowers in them.

Back down Rainbow Road.

Looking back up to Hallgrimskirkja… Tiny spire at the top of the street.

Back into our favour Einstök Bar.

The sky was amazing when we came out. It seems even quieter today.

Some random photos as we walked through downtown Reykjavik.



My lovely alcohol free cocktail in Tipsy. (Can’t remember what was in it!)

Dinner was in Sæta Svinid tonight. It was probably the most expensive restaurant we’ve been to, about £65 for two courses and one beer… but Craig said his burger was the best he’s had.

I had the jackfruit burrito… don’t sure I chose the best option… it didn’t taste of much! Yeah I know… I hear you. 😬😆

This is the restaurant, so pretty.

Back at the hotel early tonight with an amazing Jeep parked outside!!

We are flying at 7.35am so leaving Reykjavik at 3am!!!
Bags are packed and get are up.
What an amazing adventure.
We love Iceland and are sure we will be back.
If you’ve never been, we can’t recommend it highly enough. It’s such an amazing place!
Thanks for all the likes and comments.
Here are still loads of videos etc to share but they will come!
Stay safe everyone ♥️🇮🇸♥️
