Day 4 Glaciers and Icebergs

 First stop this morning was to the Jokulsarlon Glacier Lagoon.



While everyone else was busy trying to photograph a lone seal, I went off on a short walk as something else had caught my eye.


A short walk in the opposite direction took us to Diamond Beach.  So called due to all the icebergs drifting out to sea and broken fragments getting washed ashore.  Quite stunning. 




A 15 minute drive away and we stopped to see a very old church built in 1884.  The structure and all the graves were covered in moss. 



Our final stop was to see the Svinafellsjokull Glacier.  A 30 minute hike up an icy track and we were greeted to see the beautiful glacier. Another benefit was one could get relatively close.

Day 8 - Driving

 Today we had a day off with a drive between resorts.  As you can imagine there are lots of Paddy fields in Sri Lanka. What I did not expect...
