Fun Photo/Food Friday — Reykjavik Area Favorites and Eating at Hótel Skógafoss


Today I’m going to combine a Fun Photo Friday with a Fun Food Friday featuring a lunch review of the restaurant at Hótel Skógafoss in Skógar, just minutes away from on foot from the magnificent Skógafoss waterfall. We’ll start with a glance at the lunch menu at the Hótel Skógafoss Bistro and Bar:

But that menu does not show you the full selection available. There were also sandwiches, French fries, and other popular fair:

Mmmm…. Looks good. Let’s take a closer look:

Something a bit more local, perhaps?

Or a cross between the traditional and the popular:

Yes, this is a bar as well. Don’t forget to see what they have on tap to accompany your lunch:

Jewel of the Seas — Reykjavik; Skógafoss and Seljalandsfoss video


Today I present a video showing off the magnificence of both the Skógafoss and Seljalandsfoss waterfalls. I put together this video for you (as well as my YouTube channel audience) because sometimes static photographs fail to capture the dynamics of moving scenery. This is particularly true in nature for things such as waterfalls. I hope you enjoy this short video (1 minute 27 seconds):

Jewel of the Seas — Reykjavik; Seljalandsfoss


I‘ve already shown you the waterfall we saw earlier on this excursion on 13 June 2022 — Skógafoss. Today I’ll show you another that we visited after the black sand beach and basalt columns of Reynisfjara. Today’s article shows Seljalandfoss in pictures. Tune in Wednesday for dramatic (I hope) video of both Seljalandfoss and Skógafoss. Until then, here are today’s photos containing final shots of Reynisfjara and the waterfall Seljalandfoss:
