Five hours from Reykjavik, off the side of Iceland’s Route 1 “Ring Road” highway, is the chilly Icelandic natural attraction of Jökulsárlón Glacier Lagoon.
The black sand beaches at Vik are particularly impressive because of the vastness of the beach, the unblocked view of the sky, and the jagged stone jutting out at various angles like statues in the sea.
I am writing this blog post a week before I depart from Vancouver to Iceland, on the 12-day “Ring Road” roadtrip around the country.
For the long weekend, I was invited to a family reunion for my boyfriend’s side of the family in Foam Lake, Saskatchewan.
No visit to Panama City would be complete without seeing the Panama Canal, an impressive man-made canal which took 10 years to build at the beginning of the 1900’s.
In Panama, the “lungs of Panama City” is Parque Natural Metropolitano, a 232 hectares tropical forest in the centre of the city.
