I thought this looked familiar!

We drove past this airport on our way to Dynjandi waterfall - I saw a video of this waterfall online and it largely inspired our entire trip to Iceland (plus cheap direct flights in the peak of Icelandic tourism in the beforefore times, pre-COVID.)

That afternoon we also went and visited the Icelandic Sea Monster Museum in Bíldudalur.

But hands down, our favorite part of our trip was visiting a hot spring spa that also specializes in baking rye bread 🤤

We spent half of our trip exploring the Westfjords, I'd love to go back to Iceland someday to do more exploring in other parts of the country. And to go back to Laugarvatn Fontana!

I hope you didn't miss the amazing fish restaurant there, Tjoruhusid. This restaurant quite literally converted me into a seafood lover. Check out the reviews on it, if you haven't heard of it.

I'd go back just to eat here, haha. I spent a few months in the Westfjords. I'd love to go back. I was out in the middle of nowhere, though, most of the time.

Dang, we definitely missed that restaurant! I'll add it to the list because I'm determined to go back to Iceland some day.
