[Travel] Iceland Day 7 – Snaefellsnes Peninsula

Day 7: West Iceland / Snæfellsnes Peninsula / Reykjavik

• Grundarfjörður / Kirkjufell / Kirkjufellsfoss
• Reykjavik 
• Hallgrímskirkja Church
• Harpa Concert Hall
• Baejarins Beztu Pylsur
• Laugavegur shopping

We woke up early to drive to Snaefellsnes. We went straight to Kirkjufell, it’s funny because without Waze, even if it’s the most photographed mountain in Iceland, we could’ve missed it so easily.

Now I know why it’s the most photographed mountain, it’s so majestic, perfect! A single photograph of the place would really be able express how beautiful Iceland is.

 

We skipped Hellnar and Arnarstapi, because we felt that we experienced so much awesomeness already, haha, also because we wanted to get back to Reykjavik so we can go up to Hallgrímskirkja church (open from 10am to 5pm) to see downtown Reykjavik from the top. We then went shopping for souvenirs in Laugavegur, went to see Harpa Concert Hall, and went to the famous and apparently the best hotdog in Europe – Baejarins Beztu Pylsur. It was packed even if it was just in a corner downtown.

We met a girl from Singapore who’s doing MBA in Spain, who was also travelling in Iceland alone. We told her that sadly, we were already leaving early the next day, but that we also miss our girls so much already.  We told her about all our funny and crazy stories, about the amazing places and things we’ve seen, about the northern lights, and just really about how a wonderful and amazing Iceland is.

And that concludes our Iceland trip! Hope you enjoyed the photos and stories! Thank you Iceland, you’re like a dream! Someday, we will bring our kids here too 🙂
