Last day in Iceland, folks! Sleep in, order room service! Or get up, enjoy the buffet and then explore the museums, the shops, or the absolutely insane spa that the school has arranged for you to get into.

Could be an apology for the minibuses. Could be an apology for Beaker. You might never know!

Anyway, the portal back to the real world opens at 2pm, so get in your last things now!

We arrive back in Reykjavík and lovely Hotel Thingholt in time for dinner.

And you never have to get back in the minibuses again. We promise! Make sure to thank your guides, than either head up to your rooms, over to the spa, or out into town for nightlife ala Iceland. It's our last evening here, so don't have so much fun that you don't look up at sky for our last glimpse of the Northern Lights for a while.

Still spectacular, huh?

We're heading allllll the way back to Reykjavík today, where the weather is warmer and misty, but first we get to see the stunning landscape of western Iceland, visit another waterfall, and most importantly, go whale watching!

Oh, hell yeah.

Someone put a leash on Beaker, okay? Juuuuuust in case.

And it's back on the buses for a couple more stops before we reach tonight's lodgings. We'll be stopping at the Mývatn Nature Baths and Goðafoss Waterfall. Your accommodations tonight will be near Akureyri, in the heart of Eyjafjordur (Eyjafjörður), a truly sensational fjord. Hopefully, the northern lights will dance their magic across the night sky!

Welcome to another morning in Iceland, Fandomites! Get your fill of breakfast, and maybe grab a Thermos of coffee (coffee, Dee, oh my god) for the road, because it's going to be another busy day!

If you slept the rest of the way to the hotel after that hike, we don't blame you at all. We rest for the night at a country hotel close to Lake Lagarfljot (Lagarfljót). Supposedly the giant worm, Lagarfljotsormur, resides in the depths of the lake: Iceland’s version of the Loch Ness Monster. Maybe the northern lights will dance for us again tonight? On this tour our search for them never ends!

We're staying at Lake Hotel Egilsstadir, which has charming rooms--modern styled ones for the students, and antique-style for the teachers--and a renowned restaurant, noted for its innovative use of local ingredients. The town itself is mostly other hotels and guesthouses, but you can go for a wander and find a couple of different bistros, and some grocery stores if you need to stock up on bus snacks.

Up, up and at 'em! It's bright and early, and in a few hours, you'll be in the move again. Are you tired of reindeer and hiking yet? You better not be tired of reindeer and hiking, 'cause Iceland has plenty.

So go get that breakfast spread, kids.

After our nice, relaxing 3-hour-hike and birdnapping attempt, we get back in the minibuses (make sure you haven't "accidentally lost" your nametags, Minibus #3) and drive towards the Jökulsárlón Glacial Lagoon and its famous Diamond Beach. After that, it's on to our actual, real, non-tent hotel for the evening located just outside the village of Höfn. The Northern Lights won't be quite as spectacular as the were last night, but the village is small enough not to kick up a lot of light pollution, so the view will still be pretty amazing.

Did everyone enjoy their glamping? Hopefully the tents provided folks with a good night's rest, because another day of traveling lies ahead, and sleeping on the minibuses would not be advised (especially with certain chaperones, just saying).

Before we arrive at our final destination for the evening, we have a little more driving to get through. We drive towards the mighty Eyjafjallajökull Volcan--the one that erupted in 2010-- in the setting sun, stopping along the way at Seljalandsfoss Waterfall. Seljalandsfoss is quite special because you are able to walk behind the waterfall, which gives you another perspective on these 60 m high falls. There is one final stop before we come to our accommodation for the night, the beautiful Skógafoss Waterfall, which descends elegantly into the Skógá River.

Now that you have thoroughly waterfalled out--not you, Sidon--we arrive at our stop for the evening: the Volcano Huts and their elaborate tents for glamping.

Yep. Glamping. Outside. In tents.

The view of the Northern Lights will be amaaaaazing?

Fandomites arrive in Reykjavík around 2pm, which is plenty of time to explore the city before the sun goes down at 6. Museums and shops are open, and it's a good time to take advantage of buying warm Icelandic sweaters and cute boots before we head out to the wilder parts of the country tomorrow. We won't make it back to Reykjavík until Friday afternoon, after all, and there's a ton to see here!

The hotel is all ready for us to check in as well, if you'd rather just settle in and enjoy the spa and the room service.
