As you can probably see from literally all of my other blog posts so far, I’ve recently been on a two week trip to Iceland. I went as part of a Student Environment Research Team (SERT) for Bournemouth University. I am a geography student and have visited Iceland before so I knew I would have … More Top 10 Things to do in Iceland in the Summer
The main purpose of our trip to Iceland was to experience life as a student in Reykjavik and visit the University. Although we were unable to properly visit the university and speak to students/staff (due to it being the summer holidays and a lack of communication), we all feel that we have experienced what it … More Student Life in Iceland
(Long post warning soz) Yesterday we did another amazing tour, booked through the same company as the last one. It was called ‘the beautiful south coast tour’ and they’re not wrong to call it that. We were sooooo lucky (yet again) with the weather which helped make everything look 10 times more stunning. The first … More A Geographer’s Paradise
So today definitely didn’t feel like we were in Iceland. The weather was lush; super sunny and actually very warm. We decided to head to the Perlan 360° building which we’d heard was meant to have great views over the city. And that it did. It was amazing to be able to walk all the … More A Beach Day? IN ICELAND?!
Apologies for my lack of posts, the last few days haven’t been the most blog worthy. On Saturday we discovered a cheaper supermarket where we could buy frozen pizzas for the equivalent of £1.50 (I know right, SO exciting) and on Sunday evening we headed to the city centre to watch the football final. For … More Museums Galore
Sorry in advance if this post is ridiculously long, basically yesterday was THE best day ever!! The tour we decided to take was booked through Sterna Travel (situated in the Harpa building), it did cost quite a bit but, in my opinion it was worth every penny. We departed from outside Harpa at 10.30am after meeting … More Golden Circle & Secret Lagoon (AKA THE BEST DAY EVER)
Having decided to do a trip on friday to the secret lagoon and the golden circle tour, a trip into town to Harpa was needed to book the excursion. This was our first time getting the bus into town and as we’d been warned that buses do not give change so we scraped together all our … More The Sun Voyager | Reykjavik
Yesterday was a bit more of a lazy day as we were all tired from the late night watching the sun set the night before. We had a lazy morning and headed out for a walk straight from the house just after lunch. Because we’re not trying to cram things in before it gets dark here … More A Mini Hike
After our busy day walking to Reykjavik you’d have thought we’d want an early night but being the keen geography students that we are, we decided to stay up and watch the sun set. Little did we know that even when the sun actually sets it doesn’t properly get dark at all! We wandered down … More Watching the Midnight Sunset
After what seemed like the best night’s sleep in the world we had a lazy morning planning the day ahead. Having looked at a (very basic) map, it was decided we could probably save the bus fare and walk from Grafarvogur into Reykjavik city centre. Even though it didn’t seem like such a good idea at the … More A day in Reykjavik
