甜心男主:“Hi~ sisters, I just came back from Iceland with my friends, and I want to share my true feelings! 👉This time I went with Tuan. I saw a lot of posts saying to avoid pitfalls with Tuan, and I was scared to look for guides everywhere. After going there, I finally let go of the worries. - 🙋🏼‍♀️Let me talk about my feelings first: I stayed in Iceland for 6 days, and it was so beautiful that I didn’t want to come back! - ⚠️Iceland lightning avoidance & experience sharing: 1⃣️Iceland is windy, bring more windproof and warm equipment 2⃣️Prepare a pair of waterproof sports shoes or hiking shoes, which are essential for black sand beaches and glacier hikes 3⃣️Tie your hair up when soaking in hot springs, otherwise it will look like "dry grass" 4⃣️Remember to bring a raincoat when watching the waterfall, as it is easy to get wet by the mist when approaching 5⃣️Local shops and supermarkets close early, make a list before departure and buy everything at once 6⃣️Souvenirs at the service area are expensive and average, don't buy them impulsively - 🗒️Overview of the itinerary: Arrival in Reykjavik → Seljalandsfoss → Skogafoss → Plane wreckage → Black sand beach → Vik Church → Feather Canyon → Glacier Lake → Glacier hike → Indirect Spring → Whale watching/Blue Lagoon Hot Spring/Icelandic horse riding The 6-day arrangement is reasonable, not a special forces-style itinerary, and the experience is great! - 🚗Transportation: The whole trip was in a business car, with one seat per person, and the driver drove very steadily (I was prone to motion sickness, but I didn't get motion sick). After a brief explanation at the scenic spot, we were allowed to move freely. - 🏨Accommodation: Hotels in Iceland are generally expensive. The hotels we stayed in were all good, and it was very convenient to travel. - 📍I don't know why everyone is prejudiced against traveling with a group. Choosing a small group of less than 8 people is reliable and easy, and the comfort and experience are much better❗️ **Iceland Travel Diary** **Date: April 1, 2025** **Weather: Sunny to cloudy, the wind is so strong that it seems to blow people away** --- ### **Day 1: Reykjavik-the end of the world, starting with a bowl of mutton soup** Arriving at Keflavik Airport in the early morning, the cold air instantly sobered people up. Rented a four-wheel drive and headed straight to the city of Reykjavik. **Hallgrimskirkja** is like a rocket taking off. After climbing to the top, you can overlook the whole city: colorful roofs, snow-capped mountains in the distance, and the lead-gray North Atlantic Ocean, lonely and lively. For lunch, I drank the legendary Icelandic lamb soup at **Old Iceland Restaurant**. The rich aroma warmed the stomach and instantly cured the fatigue of the long-distance flight. In the afternoon, I visited **Tornin Lake**. The swans and ducks were not afraid of people at all, and even arrogantly blocked the road to beg for food. In the evening, I went to the **Sun Voyager** sculpture. The metal skeleton glowed coldly in the sunset. I felt like I was standing on the bow of a Viking ship. **Tips**: - The wind is really strong! Scarves and windproof jackets are life-saving artifacts. - Parking fees in the city are expensive, so it is recommended to pay in advance using the App. --- ### **Day 2: Golden Circle - Volcanoes, waterfalls and cracks** Today's highlight is the three major attractions of the **Golden Circle**: 1. **Thingvellir National Park**: Standing between the cracks of the Eurasian and American plates, the lake water is so clear that you want to jump in (but the water temperature is only 4℃). 2. **Geysir Geyser**: Erupts every 5-10 minutes, with a strong smell of sulfur, and the onlookers exclaim collectively every time. 3. **Golden Waterfall**: Water mist hits your face, rainbows span the canyon, and it's shocking to the point of being speechless. Stay at **Hótel Geysir** at night, with wasteland and ponies outside the window. After soaking in the hotel's geothermal hot springs, I looked up and saw the aurora dancing in the night sky - so lucky! **Tips**: - Be careful of burns when the geyser erupts, and you will get wet if you stand downwind. - Use the "Aurora Forecast" App to predict the aurora, and the probability is high when there are few clouds. --- ### **Day 3: South Coast - The Dark Aesthetics of Black Sand Beach and Glacier** Going south, the scenery becomes wilder. - **Seljalandsfoss**: You can walk behind the water curtain, like walking through the Water Curtain Cave in "Journey to the West" (remember to wear waterproof clothing). - **Skogafoss**: The rainbow hangs there all year round, and it is suspected to be the entrance to the barrier in Norse mythology. - **Reynisfjara Black Sand Beach**: The basalt columns are like giant organ pipes, the waves are like ink, and it looks like the end of the world on cloudy days. The tour guide repeatedly warned: "Don't turn your back to the sea!" (The rip current has swept away tourists.) In the evening, watch the sunset at the red-roofed church in **Vik Town**, and the cottage at the foot of the mountain looks like a forgotten building block. --- ### **Day 4: Glacier Lagoon and Diamond Beach - Tears of the Glacier** **Jökulsárlón Glacier Lagoon**, the floating ice is shining blue, and seals are poking their heads out among the broken ice. We took a boat to touch the thousand-year-old glacier. The guide broke off a piece of ice for us to taste: "This is the taste of 1200 AD." (Pure, no bubbles, and crunchy.) On the opposite **Diamond Beach**, ice cubes were polished into diamond shapes by the waves, scattered on the black sand, and sparkled in the sun. Nature is the most luxurious jeweler. --- ### **Last day: Blue Lagoon Hot Spring and Farewell** Soaked in **Blue Lagoon** until my fingers wrinkled. A silica mud mask covered my face, and I drank an iced strawberry milkshake while watching the snow-capped mountains - Icelanders know how to enjoy themselves! On the return flight, I flipped through the photos: volcanoes, aurora, glaciers, waterfalls... This land seems to be enchanted, and even loneliness has an epic feeling. **Next wish list**: - Winter ice cave exploration - Puffins in the Westfjords - Pretend to be in the inland highlands of the moon **Iceland, we'll see you under the aurora. ** --- **Postscript**: - Expenses: about 25,000 per person (air tickets + car rental + mid-range accommodation). - Essential items: waterproof shoes, power bank (power runs out quickly in cold weather), motion sickness medicine (some mountain roads are so bumpy that you doubt your life). - Summary in one sentence: "This place is like an alien planet, but the food there may not be this delicious."”

Cafe Babalu

SEAHELLO潮流度假:“"Every dawn, I long for a warm cafe where people drink coffee and turn loneliness into resonance in conversation." ——Frederick Beckmann - Walking on the streets of Reykjavik, the city surrounded by snow is full of broken depression. Suddenly, a touch of bright color appears in the monotonous world. 🏠This cafe called Babalu is an orange cottage with blue doors, blue windows and blue roofs. The warm color immediately dispels the loneliness in the heart, as if the passing travelers have returned to a comfortable home The banknote hut is filled with colorful dolls, statues and landscape paintings, and 💵 (🤔️ I don’t know if it’s true) from various countries are hung, like an exotic world filled with treasures. What’s even more different is that the tapestries, cushions and chandeliers in the store are all kinds of strange but never repeated, and the main feature is a unique atmosphere! Order a cup of coffee and a dessert, sit in the lively crowd, listen to the people of Reykjavik complain about their lives, and dance and gesture, which is particularly funny~ It turns out that they also have such rich emotions and interesting stories, as if this city has come alive again👻 Occasionally turn your head to look at the open kitchen, the busy staff and the steaming hot soup instantly add a touch of fireworks to the heavy winter in Iceland. If you just want to monopolize the quiet time in Iceland, then find a sofa in the corner by the window on the second floor, watch the passers-by on the street corner come and go, and be comfortable and dazed all day, and be an Icelander who doesn't need to be disturbed by anyone - 🏘️Store name: Cafe Babalu 📍Address: Skolavoroustigur 22, 101 Reykjavik ⏰Business hours: 8am-10:30pm - ❤Intimate ordering guide ☕️Latte Must recommend! ! It was as if I wasn't holding the cup and drinking coffee, but the coffee was falling into my taste buds smoothly. In an instant, it smoothed out every wrinkle of emotion. ☕️Cappicino The softness of the milk foam and the bitterness and richness of the coffee beans A light sip immediately left a mouthful of "white beard" Quickly take a photo with the crowd! You are the most beautiful kid in Lei City 🍰Skyr Cake Good news for strawberry lovers Sweet and sour strawberries mixed with special Chantilly cream Let your taste buds get the most satisfaction 🍰New York Cheesecake "Looks" not as exquisite as New York But you will find that it is all a misunderstanding after taking a bite🤪 Rich cheese flavor, invincible silky and delicious - Such a niche itinerary can only be experienced in Seahello~ 🗓️【Bookable group period】 11.18 (5 people left) 11.20 (5 people left) 12.07 (5 people left) 🧚🏻‍♀️【Seahello Fashion Vacation】 The meaning of travel is not only to see beautiful scenery It is also to communicate with local people and experience the different life in that country Find the meaning of life in the journey Take you to experience the most authentic Icelandic life Private small group/group sharing/local group/themed special group Welcome to Didi at any time~😎 #Local only food #Local specialties #Live like a local”
