Two icebergs run into each other and crash into pieces. What do they say? …… Ice to meet you!
That greeting was from our tour guide today. We drove up the east coast of Iceland, through the Vatnajokul National Park to Jukulsarlon (Glacier Lagoon), where we took a really fun boat ride to see the “ice chips,” as Wayne described them. Our tour guides were excellent and knowledgeable, and we got to see pieces of icebergs up close. After the boat ride, we purchased lunch from the 2 food trucks that were there, and enjoyed lobster soup and fish & chips.
After lunch, we walked on Diamond Beach, which is a black sand beach near the lagoon. Tourists gave it that name because of the iceberg pieces that wash up onto the black sand beach.
On the way home, we took lots of photos of the glacier, the mountains, and the lava fields. We also stopped for some tasty Icelandic snacks.
Dinner was at Strondin Pub in Vik. We enjoyed lamb soup, seafood soup, seafood salad, and local beer.
