postcards from iceland
we are here
this hotel chosen for (i) it’s proximity to the blue lagoon (the name of which always makes me think of this movie) and (ii) the fact that it’s out of the city of reykjavik and we are more likely to see the northern lights.
fingers crossed we see them tonight.

how to cool a bottle of veuve clicquot kiwi-style…
hang it out the window (in the -5 degC temperatures) in a plastic bag tied to a shoe-lace.

Oh wow. These photos are stunning. Just looking at them makes me feel as though I am breathing that same air and cleansing my body. Good luck with seeing the northern lights (I’ll look forward to seeing them vicariously!)
Best wishes for the new year,
