Lava – Higman Travels

Day 2 got us out of Reykjavik and into beautiful landscapes. We drove around the south west of the island through some interesting landscape. It’s basically all lava fields. We went to some hot springs and I wish I could have jumped in because it was really cold outside. We ended the tour with a “taste of Iceland” of what they call lobster but I think it was too small to be lobster. The gentleman next to me thought they were crawfish. “Lobsters” were thrown away until very recently. They used to get caught in the fish nets and the fishermen though they were such a nuisance. It wasn’t until recently they started eating it. But, it’s really not everyday food…more for special occasions. It was good but there was no dessert!!!
