Fire and Ice

First day in Iceland...
I planned this trip in December 2012, when my brilliant friend - Armina Ilea (brilliantforbrunch.com) told me that I should visit her and so, visit Iceland...and the idea smiled to me and I started planning it. And at the end of February 2013, after surviving the end of the world, I landed on this wonderful island.
Of course, I asked Armina if Iceland is a windy country and her answer was... "No, it is a really nice weather, no wind and not very cold." Yeah, sure...
When I arrived in Reykjavik, it was sooo windy and raining...but we still went for a walk, just to see how I can get around the small city. And I was quite impressed from the first day... Here are some photos from my first day in Iceland/Reykjavik:

               The haunted house...its story in a future post!

                Yes, so you can see that it was raining and it was windy... :)

                A stylized viking ship...with a great sky of FIRE & ICE... I was amazed!!!

We came back when it was dark and I've waited for the Northern Lights to appear but there was nothing...
The South Shore Adventure was waiting for me the next day... :)

First Trip Alone...my first flight

And there I was...ready to have my first trip all alone...Scared but tremendously happy, I was heading to the airport, knowing nothing of what an airport looked or felt like. It was my first flight in my whole life and I was soooo scared. I even had a fight with my boyfriend because I just couldn't understand why he was telling me that it was nothing to be scared about when I just needed him to tell me that I will get safe to..ICELAND! Yes, I am paranoid. Yes, I watched too many movies with plane crashes :) and Yes, IT WAS MY FIRST FLIGHT!!!
I arrived at the airport 2 hours before, checked in (of course I had to ask 3 times where and what I have to do) and went to wait for another hour till my flight. And I boarded the plane, put my stuff away and...we took off...what an AMAZING feeling...Oh, my God...it was just incredible...and all 3 hours I was watching the skies and the see and I felt like I can conquer the world...yeah, just like a kid, I know.

And we landed...so I said: Hello, Iceland! and my adventure began...
