It’s quite the tongue-twister: Uplistsikhe, the abandoned cave city in central Georgia. It’s one of the oldest settlements in the Caucasus region. This city, carved into the rocks, reminds me of a lunar landscape and the Flintstones all at once! Uplistsikhe is easy to visit, and I’ll tell you all about it.
It is probably the most famous spa in the world: the Blue Lagoon in Iceland. I am hesitant about whether it is worth the money, but I decide to go anyway. I want to see it with my own eyes, and yes, the water is as really blue as in the photos. I am happy to tell you what to expect and how you can perhaps arrange a small discount on the Blue Lagoon.
Close your eyes and pay up. At least, that’s the strategy I use when I drink a coffee, order a cocktail, or go out for dinner in Reykjavík. Don’t think about it, because then I’ll spontaneously go on a diet. So yes, it’s expensive, but in Reykjavík, there are really nice coffee shops, bars, and restaurants that I simply don’t want to miss out on. So make your own selection and spend, spend, spend!
It feels a little like no man’s land. While many travelers do a mini road trip of Snæfellsnes, West Iceland seems almost deserted further inland from Borgarnes. But if you look carefully, you will find Icelandic gems here. I am happy to give you some tips for this part of West Iceland.
