Welcome back to another Daily Diaries post. This week was a short work week for us here in Iceland so it was a quiet week filled with lots of fun!
Saturday & Sunday:
My weekend started off with a shopping trip downtown where I finally found the perfect red beanie. I have been searching for a red beanie all winter so this made my day. After this great success (its the little things) I met a friend for lunch at a vegan restaurant in Reykjavik. I have heard great things about this place and have been looking forward to try it myself. Dragging H to a vegan raw foods restaurant isn’t so easy though so I was thrilled when my friend asked me to join her. My meal of raw lasagne did not disappoint and I am already planning my next trip back. Just look at all those beautiful veggies.
As I was walking home after lunch I ran into crowds of different movie characters.
I was so confused at first as to what was going on with all these costumes, they were everywhere! Apparently when kids graduate high school here they dress up in these costumes and spend the day walking around downtown drinking beer and doing crazy things. Interesting.
Monday: Since it was a short week before the Easter break things at work were quite slow. A good part of my afternoon was spent browsing travel sites for vacation ideas for this summer. I am pretty sure Croatia is our choice so any tips from those who have visited there are welcomed!
Tuesday: I woke up an hour before my alarm feeling certain that I had slept through my alarms and was late. I can thank the early sunrise for this. We now have sunlight from about 6am to almost 10 pm, the midnight summer sun is almost here! And when the sun is shining on your way to work you must take a selfie. #shamelessselfie
Wednesday: After work H and I braved the stores to get some supplies for our trip. Most stores are closed during Easter break so everyone in Reykjavik was stocking up. Not kidding we stood in line waiting to check out for over 30 minutes! It felt like I was back at home on Black Friday, minus the good deals. I spent the rest of our night baking snacks for our trip.
These cookies are amazing, I will be sure to share my recipe soon!
Thursday: H and I headed off early in the morning for our two day road trip in the south coast of Iceland. We spent all day driving along the coast taking in some breathtaking landscapes. We did get caught in a bit of a snow storm but that all just added to our adventure. We had such a fun first day, I haven’t laughed so hard in a long time!

Friday: This morning we are headed off to Jökulsárlón glacier lagoon and I am so excited! So many things have been crossed off my bucket list on this trip and I can’t wait to share our pictures with you all.
Question of the Day?
What are you doing Easter break?
