Iceland Airbnb Stay

Iceland probably has the most Airbnb rental given the many tourists.  While there are lots of choices, it was also very hard to pick the right one.   My two experiences were good, each has their pros and cons.  More important the hosts are lovely people who pretty much leave you to your self and they try to give you as much space as possible. 

Here in are some pictures.

Iceland Day 6-9 Reyklavik

Reykjavik is the capital and largest city of Iceland with 200k out of the total 330k population staying in this city.  It is the center of culture and life of the Icelandic people and is also the center of tourism in Iceland.  The city offers a large variety of shopping, restaurants, café and bars.  There are also plenty of museums and art galleries to check out on rainy days.

Must see in Reykjavik includes the water front all the way to the Old Harbour.  The pond and its surrounding.  The majestic Luther Church, Hallgrimskirja.  The downtown shopping street of Laugavegur and Skólavörðustígur. The beautiful Harpa City Hall. 

 

 

Iceland Day 4

Jökulsárlón

A large glacial lake in southeast Iceland situated 1.5 km away from the Altantic Ocean and is the deepest lake in Iceland. The lake was developed in 1948 after the glacier started receding from the edge of the Atlantic Ocean. The icebergs gather at the mouth of the lake's shallow exit, melt down into smaller ice blocks and roll out into the sea.  

This tour is a very long tour and almost $200 (inclusive of a boat ride, $40) as it is very far away.  After taken the boat ride, I will say, it really not necessary and the time can be better spent on land to take more pictures and to see the bigger icebergs.
