Western Penninsula Iceland

The first two nights were spent at Hotel Hellnar on the Western Penninsula about 2.5 hours from Reykjavik.  While there, a crazy (not typical) wind storm blew in, which made for about 36 hours of not being able to go outside, except to run to the car. The wind was so strong it took your breath away and broke our car rental door.

Iceland

After an overnight flight to Iceland we drove towards the Western Penninsula. The first stop, hot pools in Borgarnes.  Hot pools quickly became our favoriate activity.  They are everywhere, and all the local pools too are naturally heated from the geothermal water. They are incredibly child friendly too. All the shower rooms have high chairs and baby tubs, bumboo seats etc. so that while you shower you can safely have your baby there too, in the shower with you.  It made it much easier with Ike.

Last full day in P-town until June 1

The bags are 99% packed for our upcoming trip, so today we took an adventure to Crystals Springs Rhododendron Gardens in Portland. We had only been there in the dark for the lantern walk this past fall (through the waldorf school).  It was beautiful.
