Driving the southern coast back to KEF

I can't believe this trip has gone back so quickly. Today is our last day as we fly out early tomorrow morning to head home. It was cloudy when we woke up today so the sunrise was a bust. Even though this was meant to be a photo trip, we were able to get some good shots, but the weather really didn't cooperate too well for us... Had some yogurt and museli for breakfast, packed up all of our gear and hit the road.

We stopped at a few places along the way back and it took much longer than we had anticipated... About six hours of driving. We stopped at a waterfall we've driven by four times and each time we say we have to stop and photograph it and finally we did.

I flew the drone there and may have cracked a rotor the first time I took it up... Then it was much better! Whoops!

We stopped at skaftafell glacier again and flew the drone and took a few more photos.

Then we met up with Andrew again and went to skogafoss at just the right moment as there was a double rainbow appearing! And blue skies! Finally a great shot from the trip!

There was a waterfall in a canyon type cave that we wanted to go to near Seljalandsfoss and so we drove there (about 20 minutes from skogafoss) and when we drove up, we were greeted with a parking guard telling us they were filming a movie and that we had to park farther away but we could still see the waterfall. Well of course we knew what movie they were shooting as we've known Jackie chan was filming here but it was great to be able to see it in person. Unfortunately we wanted to shoot sunset there and the filming did not allow us to be able to do that, so we explored and then hung out for a while and watched them shoot the movie. It was exciting and seeing Jackie chan act was cool!

We usually try to avoid touristy things when we travel but last year we decided to go to the blue lagoon on a whim and it was one of the best choices we made so this year we wanted to venture back for the evening before we have to pack and leave. However, the lagoon closed at 8 pm and we never made it. We only got to our hotel by the airport around 9:30! Sadly, the lagoon will have to wait for another trip. We saved some money so that's okay too. Our hotel here is called the Bergas Guesthouse and its in a weird location, but it's quick elegant and nice and they packed us a breakfast to take with us to the airport in the morning! Thoughtful. Our flight is early so we are waking up around 6am! Woohoo!

See you tomorrow NY!
