      I was impressed! It wasn't that easy sometimes, but for the most part there was at least a few vegan options everywhere we went! The vegan restaurants are great and the grocery stores have lots of vegan options. I loved pastries too! It was nice to see how popular plant-based eating is there

    There's a show on PBS called Amazing Hotels and they just did an episode on a hotel in Iceland called the ION Adventure Hotel. It's built on the side of a dormant volcano. I think you'd find it pretty interesting, especially since you were just in the neighborhood (kinda!)

I got to go to a local swimming pool which was an amazing experience. Folks of all ages having a nice soak in the geothermal pools. It was very inexpensive too, which is rare for Iceland.
