Day 9: Top Sights in Iceland – From Waterfalls to Black Sands (Southwest)

After a day of lots of rain and blocked roads, today we had a typical icelandic day: fours seasons during a day and a lot of outdoor sightseeing. 🙂

Our wake up call in the morning.
Beautiful morning view from our cottage.
Brú Guesthouse in the South of Iceland
First stop today: Skógafoss Waterfall
Loud, powerful
A plane wreck in Iceland
Running to see the airplane before a big group of tourists arrive there…
A plane lover always has to go check on planes, right? Yes!

And here I am…

We went to one of the most famous spots in Iceland. It is the southernmost point in the island. The Dyrhólaey Lighthouse.

The “endless black beach“
Look at the view from the cliff
The rock with the 2 holes in it is the southernmost point in Iceland
View of the Reynisfjara beach
And then we drove to the Reynisfjara beach

But before we enojoued the black sand, we stopped for a coffee at the Beach Cafe

2 hearts!
Here we are
At last we drove to Vikirfjara Black Sand Beach
Timeless
Sand castles…
I was very happy!

Some drone footage for you to have an idea of the beauty of this place!

After a long day, we stopped at The Soup Company in Vík, it was delicious!!!

Our dessert was French crepes at a great place in Vik right in front of the mountains
And this was our last stop today: Seljalandsfoss
Incredible moment!
This was our trip today. 3.5h in total but we walked probably 15Km. Great day, great places, great memories!!!
