After 6 weeks out in the far reaches of iceland I am back in Reykjavik. the rest of the project in kopasker went really well. we had an international evening where we cooked some dishes from our countries and did something cultural such as flamenco, lithuanian dancing, films etc. I excelled myself with my best crumble creation using some rhubarb i picked in the village and also did a quiz about England. thankfully the weather was amazing for the last few days so we enjoyed our walks along the beach picking up the rubbish. on the last night we went for a swim in the sea as the cloud rolled from the mountains to the sea, couldnt quite believe our luck with the timing.
then mum came out for a few days so we did a whirlwind trip taking in some waterfalls, glaciers, fjords and general epic scenery. we drove from the second largest city in the north called Akureyri all the way back to reykjavik via the east fjords. it was fun to catch up and drive our tiny rental car off road avoiding the sheep and trying to see the views through the fog. we finished up in the blue lagoon which is a hot spring with milky blue water. we arrived at 8pm so there were very few people when the sky was turning orange at 9:30. superb!
