Snaefellsnes, Iceland

 

<--- J.R.R. Tolkein supposedly took a lot of ideas from traditional Icelandic culture, and here we have hobbit holes!

  

 

 

Saw a lot on our overnight trip to the Snaefellsnes Penninsula-

  • seals sunning themselves on the beach
  • cliff formations
  • moss houses (see above)
  • insane sheep in insane locations
  • the volcano/glacier that led to the center of the earth in Jules Verne's novel of the same name
  •  me, crossing said volcano (Snaefellsjokull) in a VW Polo, up and down extremely steep dirt passes, thinking at least twice that we wouldn't make it and somehow not getting any dings or paying extra on the rental agreement!
  • the northern lights (know its not the best picture ever but considering I woke up in the middle of the night to close the window and there they were, can't really beat it!)
