Puffin Birds on Westman and Reynisfjara to see the Basalt Columns

 

1. **** Westman island ferry starts at Landeyjahöfn to Vestmannaeyjar. Hike up ladders, chains, ropes and steep grassy meadows for 45 minutes to get to the top of Heimaklettur (Home Rock) to see puffins and sheep.  Walk along the coast with extra time. Kids had a budget of 500 Iceland dollars.  We all got yummy treats. Tyler and I ran to “Gru’s house”/ an old black church on the coast before the ferry left.

1. *****Black Sand Beach Reynisfjara southern tip of Iceland, Basalt Columns,  sneaker waves.  Near the town of Vik. Hálsanefshellir sea cave and the Garðar cliff, which are basalt columns. View the **Dyrhólaey’s arched cliffs and lighthouse across the Bay. Can be very windy.  

1. Black crust pizza in Vik then camping the night in Thakgil. Hot showers.
