Vík. You stunner, you. If you’re going to make a trip to Iceland, you have to stop in Vík. The black beaches are gorgeous, and the town itself is charming. And it was actually the only place where I was able to find Pastellfiskar that were actually shaped like fish. Victoria and I stayed at the cutest little cottage there (see below). “Marvin Gaye” by Charlie Puth played on the radio constantly on our way to Vík, so by the…

I might even venture to say that it was the most beautiful thing I saw while in Iceland. So if you’re wondering what you need to see while in Iceland…definitely this. #tastetherainbow “Victoria,…

Just kidding about the waterfall, guys. That will be tomorrow. It turns out that I have so many photos from our adventure to Reykjavík’s lighthouse that it just wouldn’t be right to squeeze everything into one post! So here are some photos from when Victoria and I visited the lighthouse in Reykjavík before heading southeast toward Vík. I’m thinking this Iceland series might take me two weeks now haha. Clearly I was feeling like Peter Pan in the above picture.…
