Day 2: Woke up from our B&B in Keflavik, The Ravens B&B to a lovely breakfast. đź’—Then we went in the car on a 45 min drive to the centre of Reykjavik. The weather was dry & Sunny. A perfect weather. We parked on a free park road behind the cathedral and walked towards it. There, we discovered a lovely small cafe called Cafe Loki, and make a mental note to visit it for lunch later on. On our way down from the Cathedral, we passed the famous BRODA bakery I had heard so much about on here, so had to go in. đź’ĄWOW, those pastries were fab. Two pastries & coffees cost us ÂŁ13.
đź’—We took them to the bottom of the road where I could see the sea.
To my surpise, there was the Viking Boat. The sun was shining, and we had our coffees there.
🇮🇸We had a walk around then made our way for lunch to the cafe Loki. Lunch cost £30 for the two of us. I had a goulash soup & soft apple drink. The hubby a bagel with cottage cheese & marmalade! Plus two coffees.
We then went for a drive along the Route 1 towards Selfoss where we are staying the night.
It seems like toy town. Not as built up as Reykjavik and in a lovely hotel called Selfoss Hotel. Wasnt too expensive. No more than ÂŁ200 for 2 nights including brekkie.
The drive wasnt as nervey as I thought it may be.
We passed ice, but not on the roads itself.
Roads here are easy. As long as their is no snow. I am pleased we chose the hire car option. Tomorrow we are doing the Golden Cirlce route. Geyser and the falls dont seem so far from here.
After a day in Reykjavik, we drove to our hotel in Selfoss.
A facsinating journey, as we passed volcanic rock along the road side. Edged in snow capped mountains and roads so perfectly signed, our trip to Selfoss was spectacular.
On arriving at Selfoss, not such a built up area, yet reminding me of a town centre that could fit into an small area of Disney Land. Cute shops in various colours and wooden houses fill the area. We were glad tonreach out very comfortable Hotel Selfoss.
