Northern light encounter #2: Seen from Vansholt Guesthouse The Northern lights on our 4th night in Iceland was really active, we could see obvious green lights in the sky at 7pm! This time, the green lights were dancing and it was so strong! We were actually having our Christmas eve dinner when there's aurora light shows in the sky. We ran in and out, juggling between dinner and admiring the amazing dancing lights. The aurora lasted for around an hour this time. After our dinner, it was gone totally! It was definitely worth running in and out, the aurora was so beautiful, moving above us in the dark skies! Next, some photos of what we ate for our Christmas eve dinner. Smoked salmon on perfectly toasted bread and lamb meat Turkey with potatoes. Can't remember what the red thing, but it goes well with the turkey Blueberry cheese cake The host also prepared a souvenir for us. The ashes of Eyjafjallajokull, which erupted in 2010.

We rented a 2WD Ford Focus this is our transport for the rest of our journey in Iceland. Blue Lagoon This is one of the famous touristy place that one has to step foot on when you are in Iceland. We are not exactly interested in this man made lagoon but since we were already quite near there so might as well.. You know.. Before we enter the ticket office of Blue Lagoon, there is this beautiful walkpath which you can take to enjoy the scenery of blue color lagoon . If you are not interested in swimming in the hot blue pool and just want to enjoy the scenery of blue color lagoon, you can just walk through this footpath and you don't even have to pay a single cent. Inside the Blue Lagoon was quite misty as the water was hot.  You may visit the  Blue Lagoon website  to decide which package you want to take and how to get there. Western Iceland, Snaefellnes Peninsular Our next destination was Western Iceland, Snaefellnes Peninsular. I highly recommend the...

We took Icelandic Budget Air, Wow Air from London Gatwick. I would say we were generally very pleased with what we got on Wow Air. The cabin crew were friendly, and even though they was a budget airline, they were not fuzzy with check in baggage as long as the size is reasonable and within the weight restrictions, unlike some fuzzy and make-my-life-difficult budget air which is called Easyxxx (what an irony!). We also spot some interesting and funny marketing quotes while on the plane. We ordered this drink on Wow Air. It's an Icelandic Christmas special drink. It just taste better... Than Coke.. Yumz.. As we were approaching Keflavik Airport in Iceland, this was what we saw.. Nothing but white snowy, icy lands. Transport from Keflavik Airport to Reykjavik We booked in advance the bus which brought us from Keflavik Airport to Reykjavik via the  Flybus website . If the hotel/guesthouse you stayed in Reykjavik is in the list of hotels that offer picked up listed...
