DAY 7
Wednesday, Oct. 29
Breakfast / Lunch / Dinner
Sagas: Iceland’s rich history |
|
 |
|
Iceland's Auroras |
|
|
| |
This morning
we’ll travel a short distance to Seljalandsfoss, a graceful, ribbonlike
waterfall that drops 200 feet (65 meters) from an overhanging lava cliff.
If you step carefully you can walk behind the falls, but be prepared to
get wet! We’ll then head to the Saga Museum at Hvolsvöllur for a
fascinating look at Iceland’s best-loved national epic — Njal’s Saga. With
a local guide we will tour the museum, enjoy a traditional lunch, and then
travel to the local sites made famous by Iceland’s longest and most
beloved chronicle. Tonight, view the northern lights from one of our
hotel’s outdoor hot tubs! |

Breakfast / Lunch / Dinner
Iceland’s South Shore |
|
|
| |
Our morning
will begin with a visit to the thundering 180-foot (55-meter) Skógafoss
waterfall and the village of Skógar, a living folk museum where old homes
are preserved in their original state and a modern building is filled with
a vast collection of household items depicting Iceland’s past. Continuing
farther east, we’ll see the M´yrdalsjökull glacier, and if conditions
permit we’ll stop at the glacial tongue of Solheimajökull. After lunch in
the beautiful village of Vík, we’ll journey to the volcanic, black-lava
sand beach of Reynisfjara, with its massive basalt columns and rock
formations. Join us this evening for a special farewell dinner and our
last chance for aurora viewing.
