Horseback Riding in Husavik and Our Last Day in Iceland

Hi, I’m Aanya and I will be writing the blog for day 7 in Iceland. Today we drove from Akureyri to Reykjavík, which was approximately 6 hours by bus. Although it was a long journey, we stayed entertained with games, books, tv shows, and obviously, long naps. On the way, we stopped for a horseback riding experience in the same area in which we went whale watching a few days ago. Riding horses was an amazing experience as we were able to ride the horses over hills and along the coast, with a great view of the snow capped mountains of Húsavík. We loved interacting with the friendly animals including a pug, a cat, and a many horses with different personalities.

We then hit the road reached Reykjavík by evening, with a few stops for snacks and the restroom. We had breakfast and lunch on the bus. It was so rainy at one point that we couldn’t see over 15 feet outside the windows. But we made it to the Loft hostel in one piece. Once we arrived at the hostel, we went separate ways for dinner, splitting up into small groups. My group went to a local fish and chips restaurant, an Icelandic specialty. It was a great way to end our incredible stay in Iceland, and we’re all excited to begin the next leg of our journey in Amsterdam tomorrow!
