When we were packing for our trip to Iceland The Roaming Gnome couldn't stop talking about how he had never been to Iceland - pretty much a major guilt trip. He kept reminding us about how he helped us get
cheap flights to Iceland on
Travelocity.ca and that he doesn't really take up that much room, so we figured lets take him along for our adventure.
Are we ever glad we did! Not only did The Roaming Gnome get a chance to visit a bunch of locations in Iceland but it was great fun running around with him and watching everyone reactions, including more than a few times when others joined in on the fun and took a picture.
In the end he wanted to stay and explore Iceland some more so we left him, with a note, in the capable hands of the front desk staff at the
Radisson Blu 1919 Hotel with directions to the Sabre Iceland offices at
Calidris - we hope he is having a great time although he hasn't written yet!

Lets us know your favorite picture in the comments below, I hope you had as much fun checking them out as we did taking them!
I'd have to say "Chatting with a staff member at Petru's Rock Garden".
ReplyDeleteFawn and I conferred. We like "Looking out at the mud pools at Hverir", "Overlooking Hafragilsfoss after lunch" (great shot), and "Chatting with a staff member at Petru's Rock Garden" because it's darned funny.
ReplyDeleteI really love them all (except the creepy one where he appears to be stuck to Sharleen, however my favourite would have to be "Overlooking Hafragilsfoss".
ReplyDeleteAll great pics but got to love Petru's Rock Garden. That's priceless.
