Well....I'm going to start this Iceland blog off with a weather forecast fit for Donald Trump!  He's not afraid to tell-it-like-it-is and neither am I.  The weather here is %&#@ cold!  Kinda obvious why they call this place Iceland.  They do not factor the wind chill into their temperature....so I'd have to guess it's minus-something to the Fahrenheit degree. The air just cuts through you like a knife....and we've never experienced weather anything quite like this before. So.....what do you do when it's this cold?

Sign up for a brewery tour!


The Olgerdin Egill Skallagrimsson Brewery is in the east part of Reykjavik. The brewery is Iceland's oldest, but the renovated site is stylishly modern. We sampled classic Icelandic beers (and Brennivin schnapps) such as Gull and Malt & Appelsin, and our expert guide shared stories about Icelandic drinking culture through the ages while keeping our table overflowing with brew. Check it out!

Cheers!  After 90-minutes at the brewery.....our bodies were definitely warm enough to partake in a Northern Lights tour. At this point (8pm) Jenesa and I have been awake for nearly 31 consecutive hours!  Still going strong....and hoping to see the lights on our first night in Iceland. Fingers crossed!
