This video captures the highlights of the first few days of our unforgettable holiday in Iceland during December 2023, where we celebrated Christmas in a unique way. Despite having visited Iceland before, this trip held a special twist with a festive Christmas celebration.
Upon our arrival, we swiftly picked up our rental car and set out on a drive. Within just half an hour, we stumbled upon a hidden gem Valahnúkamöl - the filming location of a scene from the movie Eurovision, featuring a music video. Exploring this fantastic site, we even took the opportunity to recreate the iconic keyboard scene from the film. Despite not being dressed in our thermal gear upon arrival, it was still great fun and the views from the drone over the rocks were brilliant. It was very overcast and was threatening to rain, so I would like to go back when it's a clearer day. Still a fantastic first little stop on our trip though!
After another short drive towards the evacuated town of Grindavik, we stopped off at Brimketell, an awe-inspiring location with the mesmerizing crash of Atlantic waves which was truly amazing. We had to be cautious, however, not to get wet during our exploration as some of the waves were massive!
The following day greeted us with a breathtaking morning, where the crystal-clear sky revealed a freezing temperature of minus twenty-one degree Celsius. I decided to take the drone for a flight around the charming town of Flúðir, revealing its beauty from an aerial perspective. However, flying the drone in the frigid temperatures, nearing minus 21 degrees, proved challenging, causing my fingers to be REALLY painful afterward.
After an eventful day, we returned to our hotel for relaxation and indulged in a warm hot chocolate. Despite the freezing temperature outside, around minus 18 degrees by this point, we ventured into the hot tub for a soothing and calming experience.
The next morning, we enjoyed a delicious breakfast at the hotel, featuring hot and flavorful dishes. A leisurely stroll around Hveragerði, a charming town that always delighted us with its charm, was on the agenda. Although as snowfall was predicted with quite a bad storm, we opted not to venture too far from the town, so a nice walk was just the right thing to do.
Along the way, we found a charming little church so quickly stopped there to grab a quick bit of video and photos. This was Hraungerðiskirkja.
Wrapping up our day, we treated ourselves to another delightful hot chocolate at The Greenhouse, a quaint hotel, shop, and cafe situated in the heart of Hveragerði, which we hadn't previously explored. As the storm drew nearer, we debated whether to enjoy the hot tub once more. With heavy snowfall imminent, it seemed like the perfect opportunity to soak in the hot tub. Despite the bitterly cold weather outside and the vigorous wind, we made sure to wear our hats while enjoying the hot tub. The water temperature in the tub reached a delightful 40 degrees, offering a truly comforting experience compared to the bone chilling freezing wind!
After feeling adequately warmed by the hot tub, we decided to enter the sauna, although we aren't particularly fond of saunas and therefore didn't stay in it for long.
Join us on this incredible journey as we explore the beauty of Iceland during the festive season and create lasting memories in this winter wonderland.
