So our trip to Iceland finally came around - and it was time for Asdis and Berglind's wedding! That was the main reason we were going to Iceland this summer, and of course, we have been talking about going back since our last trip in 2009, so it was the perfect excuse! We arrived in Reykjavik on the Wednesday before the wedding on the Saturday, so had two and a bit days to drive up to Akureyri. This trip was very different to the last one, where we camped and drove around Iceland with action-packed days. This time we were taking it nice and easy with Asger, but that means still being able to enjoy the amazing scenery and great food!
We stayed in a lovely bed and breakfast located very near to the church, so it was easy to get there on the Saturday. The church was lovely, really unusual design with large windows along the sides. It was such a beautiful ceremony - I didn't know the opening song would be so moving, so usually I get a little teary-eyed as the ceremony progresses, but this time it happened straight away! And neither of us could find the tissues. Asger was there to keep everyone entertained, and just waited until the girls got married before taking his afternoon nap :) We had a lovely time at the reception at a restaurant in the city - Asger slept through the speeches and music! Food, company and celebrations were great.
While in Iceland we were able to visit some places we had been before (geysirs) and some new places we hadn't seen before (penninsula near to Reykjavik). The scenery is truly amazing and breathtaking. Most days we had blue skies and sunshine, but around 10 degrees, so it felt like really nice autumn/winter weather (even though it was August!). This was Asger's first trip abroad, so first time on a plane, which went really well. I owe Esben big time - he got the nappy change on the plane - and we know how pokey those toilets are :) Of course, we just keep talking about our next trip back to Iceland, but in the winter this time with snow all around :)
