Our first day in Iceland didn’t start exactly as planned. Due to flight delays, we arrived later than expected and had to change some plans around. Even though I was tired from our long travel day, I was excited to finally start our trip. From the airport, we took a bus into Reykjavík and headed to the Perlan Museum
At the Perlan Museum we had lunch first, and I ended up getting a pizza that was surprisingly really good. After eating, we explored the museum and tried their immersive experiences, including the volcano exhibit and the indoor ice cave. Both were really cool and gave us a glimpse into Iceland’s dramatic natural environment.
Afterward, we went to our hotel to check in and relax a bit. We had a great dinner there, which was the perfect way to wind down after traveling all night. Later, we stopped by a local Icelandic grocery store to try some snacks and see what kinds of foods people here eat.
I’m definitely feeling the exhaustion from the red-eye flight, but I’m excited for everything tomorrow will bring.
