Snapshots and Snippets is a series I try to do about once a month, showcasing some of my Instagram travel photos and giving you a brief glimpse into the country of choice!
Oh, Iceland.
Even though we only spent one day there (less than one day!) we were both enchanted. Part of it is that Iceland seems, to be cliché, off the beaten path. It wasn’t overwhelmed with tourists, like both Scotland and England had been before, even at the most popular sites.
(Hello Blue Lagoon!)
I was also really tired by the time we made it to Iceland. After several stressful (and interesting!) months in China, and a whirlwind trip through Belgium, France, England and Scotland, I needed a rest. Our original plan was to just hang out at the Blue Lagoon, but in my usual fashion, I found another tour that included a few more sights along with the Blue Lagoon.
Even after scant hours of sleep, we didn’t regret that tour, or our layover, and we’re scheming ways to get back to Iceland.
Our small glimpse of the culture, the unusual and gorgeous landscape, the many thermal areas and hot springs…plus that coastline!…makes Iceland a must-see destination.

We are equally thrilled that you shared your Iceland photos! I love Iceland, it’s such a unique landscape and yes… Blue Lagoon!!!
Thank you so much for hosting and for stopping by 🙂 I obviously adore Iceland…and the Blue Lagoon was as great as I thought it would be!
I really need to get to Iceland and your pictures confirm this!
Yes, yes you do 🙂 and take me with you…I need to go back!
You packed in a lot for your one day in Iceland, hope you get to make it back and explore even more!
Me too! And yes, it was an exhausting day haha…but totally worth it.
Iceland… It’s so close but so far, I’ve wanted to go there for ages but we still haven’t made it, although the flights are just over an hour I think from Norway… I love these images and I have to agree with Kaelene, you packed a lot in your short stay!!
wow I had no idea it was so close to Norway! you should go if you can, I obviously loved it…and you can pack a lot into a short stay!!
Oh the beautiful Iceland – I can never get enough of see images from that country!
I agree! It’s such a unique landscape.
I think Iceland would be very neat to explore. Thanks for linking up.
Thanks for stopping by! It’s a great place to visit.
Iceland! I want to go there, I actually don’t know anyone else who has been! And when I say know, I mean “know” 😉
Haha you “know” me ;). I can’t wait to go back!
Amy, I’m so excited. We’re heading to Iceland in July! Yay! We’re driving and will go to the pricey, iconic Blue Lagoon among other things…Love your linky…maybe next time…
Oh gosh I’m so excited FOR you! You are going to love it. I think driving is the way to go–freedom to stop and take in the landscape! The Blue Lagoon is definitely pricey but I think it’s worth every penny 🙂 thanks for reading!
