Iceland, the country of natural wonders

January 18th, 2010 by LM (Beirut, Lebanon) · No Comments

For the New year’s eve, I was lucky enough to be… in Iceland! After a stop in Paris and Copenhaguen, and a 3hrs and a half flight from Denmark, I finally got to a dream place.

I knew it was going to be breathtaking, but I didn’t know it was going to be this nice. Icelandic people are so nice and friendly! I slept at Hotel Bjork and really enjoyed it. Here are some pictures of Geysers, bonfires and fireworks for the New year… Enjoy!

Here is Reykjavik’s (the capital) church, Hallgrimskirkja

Icelandic people go crazy on fireworks on New year’s eve. They light fires everywhere to help the trolls and the elfes find their way because all elfes and troll move on News year’s eve. Happy 2010!
