Last week I went on a small tour to the Reykjanes Peninsula, which is a peninsula just south of Reykjavik. The peninsula has been over the years very volcanic, and its basically covered in lava fields and volcanic mountains. This is where the Blue Lagoon is.

Taste the Saga
This was one of the most beautiful days we have had in Reykjavik. Michelle and I just sat in the grass for a while in the Parliament Square. We had a staff party at night to the Reykjavik Brewery with Iceland Excursions. It was a lot of fun!
Blue Ice Tour
On the 13th of June I had the opportunity to hike a glacier tongue! It was really cool! We drove down to the south coast and climbed up a glacier right by Eyafjallajokull.
Harpa
I realized I haven't blogged for a long time and so much has happened. These may be out of order, but Im going to try to fit them into the blog!
Harpa. I have been lucky enough to be here for the grand opening of Harpa, the new concert hall in Reykjavik. I was there on the opening day, and we had a fancy staff party there a week later. The opening day included many concerts and events to do in the building.

Trip to the Glacier Lagoon
Last week I went on a tour to the east coast of the island to visit the glacier lagoon. The lagoon is formed because the glacier (Vatnajokull, the largest glacier in Europe) is quickly melting away. This formed a lagoon where chunks of the glacier float until they disappear into the sea.

Staff Parties!
Whale Watching Staff Party
Monday we went on a whale watching trip. It was a lot of fun! The weather was pretty bad, but our boat still tried to go out on the water. We got hit by three waves before they decided to turn us back. The first was enough to make people alert. The second was enough to make people hold on to their seats and the this was enough to tilt the boat sideways and to throw all of our cans and glasses across the room.

Akureyri
Last weekend Michelle and I hitch hiked up to Akureyri. Michelle is the new volunteer who is helping out around the hostel, and she happens to be from Hamilton! We didnt have a place to stay because the hostel was booked for the weekend, so we decided going to Akureyri would be a good way to see some more of Iceland and have a place to stay.
Hitch hiking was easy. the first five cars took us small distances to get out of Reykjavik so we had a better chance of finding someone who was going up to Akureyri (its about 4 hours north of Reykjavik). It was a very windy day, but we were dropped off at some pretty cool places!

Journey to the Hot River!
Since I have arrived in Iceland, my co workers have been talking about this 'hot river'. I've been bugging them to take me, and finally on Sunday Klara took me! We went with Zsofie, Katrin and Joss, three girls who I work with at the hostel. Essentially, the river is in a valley up in the mountains by the town with all the green houses. Its where a hot river and a cold stream meet to make a river that is the perfect temperature. Its almost as hot as a hot tub and just as relaxing with the current. The river itself is very shallow, so locals built damns with rocks to pool the water so its deep enough for a few people to relax in.

Golden Circle
Just the other day I did the most touristy tour you can do in Iceland: The Golden Circle. This tour is made for people who are only here for a few days but want to get a good picture of what Iceland is all about. The tour does cover quite a lot. It passes the giant crater, Gullfoss (golden falls), the geysers and the old parliament. Its a long day, but its worth doing at least once. I was really lucky and we had a wonderful sunny day! That hasn't been happening here very often!

South Coast to Vik
The trip down south was amazing. Unlike the north, the grass and moss had begun to turn green so it gave the pictures a nicer contrast. Again, the trip was mostly about the landscapes, so there isn't too much to say about it.
The day after Ben and I got back from the west we decided to take the car down south for a last adventure. Our friend Lea, who is a local and a tour guide, said she would take us around and give us a tour for free. It was perfect because we didn't have the restrictions that tours have.
This trip was a little more crowded. Ben met his sisters old roommate at the hostel so he tagged along, and a journalist from Belgium also came with us. We had to fit five people into a really small car and by the end of the trip it got to be a little much, but it was worth it!
The first town we passed through was pretty interesting. We stopped at a lookout before going down the mountain to the town. The town is right on the Eurasian and North American plates, so when you look down at the mountains, you can see steam coming out of the rocks. Lea said every time there is a minor (or major) earthquake the exits for steam move. The way she describes it is that Iceland is always alive.

Road Trip to the West Peninsula and the South Coast
Finally after many many days I am writing again in the blog. Much has happened and I have had little time to keep updated (even when I did have time I only wanted to rest).
Last week sometime I made it down to the Blue Lagoon. I have heard mixed reviews about the lagoon, but I loved it! I had to go by myself because all my friends were working, but it ended up being a really nice solo trip. The drive to the lagoon was very beautiful. You have to drive off the highway through black lava fields and mountains, and as the lagoon approaches on the horizon you can see a lot of steam rising from the water and the geothermal plant right beside. When you pull onto the street that takes you to the entrance, you can see traces of this beautiful sky-blue water that has pooled in the black rock. It creates a really nice contrast.

Reykjavik Night Scene
Since I last wrote I have been going out almost every single night, and every night gets more and more interesting. The night scene here is absolutely insane, especially on the weekends.
A few nights ago I went to a mini concert at the bar down the street (Bakkus). The bands were so good! No wonder why Iceland has such a good reputation for its music!
The next night there was a really good show at Faktory, a bar/ club in the downtown area. The band is called Blood Group, and they are an electronic Icelandic band. They were a lot of fun and they had a really cool light show! I went out with a big group from the hostel, and we all had our own unique night. After the show we went to Barbara, the only gay bar/ gay 'district' in Reykjavik. We all had a great time, and gay or straight most of us agreed that was the highlight of the night. (the guys liked it because they didn't have to buy alcohol; Icelandic guys are very generous with buying beer).
One thing led to another and the next thing we realized is its after 5 am, I had to work at eight and it was as bright as it would be at 10 in the morning. Even though our group had split up, (one guy didn't find his way back to the hostel until 1030 in the morning after meeting strangers and crashing at their place), some of us made it back to the hostel.
Yesterday was our relaxed day. Anna and I went for a walk through the town and went for tea in a really cute tea shop underneath a building on the main street in Reykjavik
We then found a REALLY good noodle restaurant. For 500 ISK you can get a really decent sized bowl of delicious noodles!
Tuesday, I was supposed to go to a geothermal river out in the mountains, but the people who were going to take me ended up having to work. Its too bad because I really wanted to go. I will eventually though!
I'm just about to get ready for the Blue Lagoon! Pictures will be up later!

Fleas
I didn't have to work this morning until 10 instead of 8. Thomas said that because it was my first Friday in Reykjavik I needed to go out late and see the bar scene. So he told me to come in a little late. I didn't drink last night (I didn't want to spend the money) but I did go out!
Last night I walked (in the pouring rain) up to the City Hostel to hang out with Bo and Lisa. It took me about 45 minutes to get there (good Friday there were no buses running). We just hung out for a little bit and ordered pizza.
The sunset was beautiful. We didn't have the best view, but even still the colors were so nice. It was the first clear night since I arrived (unfortunately no Northern Lights).
The walk home was even nicer! (I didn't take any pictures though). The sunset above was around 10 pm. I walked home at 1130 and the sun was down but the horizon was a vibrant blue. The walk along the water is very beautiful!
I got in at about 1150, and surprisingly the French couple from the night before was still up playing cards with an American couple ( the French couple had to fly home this morning at 4). In Iceland, you can walk outside with open alcohol, and in our cafe you are allowed to as well. They had a 60 of Jack Daniels and they were playing cards, so I joined them for a little bit. When the French couple went to bed, the Americans and I walked downtown (at about 130am). Supposedly the Reykjavik weekend bar scene is crazy! People don't go out till about 1 am and the bars stay open till 5-7 am. I didn't drink because I didn't want to spend the money, but it was fun just walking around. The city really felt a lot bigger then it is! I met some cool people who want me to come to their show at a bar down the street within the next month. It was pretty cool.
This morning after work I walked down to the flea market. I got a few nice pictures of the harbour on the way:
Both of these pictures were taken about a 30 second walk away from my hostel.
The flea market is pretty awesome. Its about a minute away (as you can see I'm pretty central. Takes me about 3 minutes to get to the centre downtown square). I looked around for some sweaters. They were all so expensive! The most expensive I saw was 30,000 ISk (about 300$CND) and the cheapest was a used one at a second hand shop which was 9,000ISK (about 90$CND). So, for 14,400ISK....
TADA!
It was the first one I tried on and I loved it! I tried a darker one on but it wasn't as nice. The woman who sold it to me was really nice. She helped me try it on, and made sure it wasn't too small. It was expensive but worth it!
That is my day so far, but it is still early!

Horses, Vikings, Gull and Canadians!
Wednesday we had our staff party. The hostels treat their staff really well and we get some pretty amazing opportunities!! After work, we all met at the City Hostel (about 40 minutes on foot) to take a bus to the Hester Horse Farms out in the mountains in the Greater Reykjavik Area. I immediately made a friend on the bus named Klara. I heard some interesting things on this bus ride. Klara said my package of 5 gum looks like a spaceship, and I heard a girl explain how Iceland and Britney Spears are very very similar. Unfortunately she had some pretty strong points.
The view from the horse ranch was beautiful.
We let the first group ride to the meeting point and we met them there on bus. Unfortunately I couldn't bring my camera with me. The sun came out when we arrived and we met them in some ruins in a lava field. We were surrounded by mountains and a volcano. Everything was covered with moss and there were Icelandic horses all over. We sat and had some hot chocolate and rum (which was provided) then rode our horses back.
Once we arrived again at the Ranch they had Gull beer waiting for us and we had an unlimited supply!
We were even allowed to take it on the bus!
(Unfortunately not the best picture. We were pretty close)
It was funny because on the way to the ranch we were all in our seats talking quietly, then on the way back everyone was standing with beer, yelling and talking very loud. There were even a couple vikings on the bus!
We then arrived at a viking restaurant. The view was very nice. It was just on the other side of Reykjavik!.
When we got in, there was again an unlimited supply of Gull beer.
We were greeted warmly by Vikings who came in and sang a traditional Icelandic song
After the viking dinner, we ended up going to a bar downtown for some beer and some live music. It was a great first night out with the staff!!
Yesterday, I met some Canadians who were headed off to France to work at the Vimmy Ridge Program. Del is from Newfoundland and Andre is from Barrie and he goes to school in Waterloo. It was nice meeting someone from a local area! After work I hung out with them and a few other people who are here from France. It was cool because we all spoke french the entire night. It was a great way for me to practice!
After we ate some fries at the Laundromat cafe (there is actually a laundromat downstairs) we bought what we thought was normal beer (at an amazing price of 190ISK). It turned out to only be 2.5%, so we sat upstairs and played drinking games anyways.
It ended up being a great night!
Today is Earth Day and Good Friday. I didn't do much but I went for a walk around Tjornin
I also checked out the Canoe that faces the mountains (unfortunatly it was too cloudy to see the mountains) and I saw some pretty awesome graffiti. I think Im going to walk over to the city hostel to go swimming with some friends. Its about a 40 minute walk so we will see!

A Trip to the Pearl
I started working at the hostel today. I had to get up at 7 (with a little bit of jet lag it felt like 3 am) but they were nice and let me eat breakfast even though I was there just on time to start. From my room, the lobby is just down the hall which is perfect because the lobby is also a really nice cafe. I started working in the cafe by helping with breakfast and help make coffees. Once breakfast finished (10) I went helped with housekeeping until about 1. it wasn't too bad, but I much prefer the cafe.
I realized today that 'free hostel food' is mainly just breakfast food all day long. I will probably get tired of bagels, cheese, cucumbers and cold eggs but it worth saving money to rent a car to drive up to the west fjords (I will go into more detail about that when the time comes).
After eating lunch (aka second breakfast) I took off on another adventure into Reykjavik. This time I set off to find a woollen pullover. To my surprise, new ones cost about 300$ ( 29,000 ISK). I can buy them used in second hand stores but those are still about 9,000ISK (90$).
I continued down the highway to the big art museum, but decided not to see the art once I found out it was 1,000 ISK. Looking back on it I should have just done it. I then headed off for the Pearl.

Góðan dag Reykjavik!
Finally in Reykjavik!
The plane trip wasn't bad, and I could see the full moon through my window the entire night. We didn't get any food on the flight, but my first taste of Iceland was a bottle of Icelandic glacier water they handed out (some of the purest water left on the Earth). I am now at the hostel and I don't get my room until 2 so I won't be able to sleep for a while.
My first impression of Iceland was pretty interesting. At first when our plane began to land, it seemed as though we were approaching an area with quite a few houses. As we got closer to the ground, I realized they weren't houses and they were actually rocks! As I stepped off the plane and looked around, I realized the only building in sight was the airport terminal (which was pretty small).
The terminal itself was pretty empty. The only people in it were the ones who were on my flight. This made passing through the airport quick and easy and I found my luggage and boarded the bus to Reykjavik within 20 minutes.
The bus ride to Reykjavik was also very interesting. There were barely any buildings because the rocks were so jagged. They were covered in moss and it seemed as though they stretched out to the horizon until they met mountains in the distance. Halfway to Reykjavik, it started to snow and the moss was replaced with white patches.
At one point, I spotted a small green house in the distance that was abandoned and seemed as though it was sinking into the rocks. The one side had decayed and the front door faced the sky. It was beautifully placed in front of a mountain that dominated the landscape. I also saw a few hobbit houses that had doorways that entered into small rock hills.
Reykjavik itself is pretty strange. I went for a walk from the hostel, through the downtown center and up to the big church. The town is incredible, but there was barely anyone outside! It was 9am, but I had expected to see more people. Only a few shops were open and it seemed pretty abandoned.
I am sitting in the hostel's cafe, and it has big windows that look out onto the street.
Anyways, time for breakfast!

Airport....First Step to Iceland
I just left my family and am sitting in the airport. I saw the first two Icelanders I think I have ever seen! And theyre wearing woollen pullovers! ( I spotted them long before I got to the gate)
Its very quiet on this side of the airport (not many people are going to Iceland), but its nice and relaxing. The weather outside is very up and down so lets see if my plane flies!
All the best!

One More Day
The day has finally come! Tomorrow I am leaving for Reykjavik, and will arrive Monday morning! Even though the weather is calling for sleet, the experience will still be increadible! I have already planned my walk from the bus station to the hostel. I will be passing over Tjornin (a lake in Reykjavik) along a bridge that will take me to Hijomskalagardur park. I am then going to make it up to the hostel to drop off my things then go back out to see the harbour.
As excited as I am for this trip, I know when I return nothing will be the same. As I am moving to Montreal when I come home, I will have little time to get back into the groove of life in Guelph. Everything will be different.

Two Videos to Inspire
Here are two videos created by the Icelandic Tourism Board. The first is a video created to inspire tourism, while the other is Yoko Ono's view of Iceland, and why she decided to build the Peace Tower in Reykjavik, Iceland.
Enjoy:)
Soon enough...
In three weeks, on April 17th, I will be leaving Canada to start a new journey. I will be arriving in Reykjavik, Iceland on April 18th to begin a spiritual journey like no other...
