We arrive into Keflavik around nine in the morning. The little bit of jet lag we had quickly faded once we got our bags, went through customs, and were met with the excited smiling faces of Jessica and Dave! It all hit me, this is real. We are fortunate enough to travel around Iceland with the best of company. We got the rental car, took advantage of the free coffee, and hit the ground running. We started driving on the ring road in a clockwise manner with a detour to see Sneafellsnes Peninsula. We went hiking around Snaefellsjokull, the volcano of Journey to the Center of the Earth. Unfortunately the clouds were blocking our view of the volcano and glacier. This area is also known for it supernatural forces though those were not felt either. We did a quick and pretty hike and then continued around the peninsula to Stykkisholmur. The views all around were stunning with waterfalls, jagged peaks, and shades of green never seen before. Once we arrived in Stykkisholmur we walked around the town, then set up camp just north of town.
