Iceland Itinerary with my Mom and Dad

I was lucky enough to have my mom and dad visit me in Iceland from Boston, MA for 1 week. They came to Iceland during one of the best times, in early November and we had the best time exploring the South Coast of Iceland. We traveled at a reletively slow pace, which helped us to enjoy our time together while exploring Iceland's hidden gems and getting to know the Icelandic culture and nature.

Here is our itinerary:

Day 1

- Rented a car from Blue Car Rental

- Relaxed at the Sky Lagoon

- Dinner at Sjavargrill

- Slept at City center hótel Reykjavik

Day 2

- Breakfast at Deig

- Took the ferry from Landeyjahöfn to spend the day in the Westman Islands
