Most people travel to the Blue Lagoon when traveling to Iceland, but I wanted to go somewhere less commercial and off the beaten path. It&#8217;s great for children &#8211; the deepest part was 4 feet and they had free noodles and life jackets. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We then drove south to Seljalandsfoss, one of Iceland&#8217;s most famous waterfalls. There is a path behind the falls, but bring a raincoat or umbrella! There are gorgeous fields of lupine in bloom everywhere.  We then drove my favorite waterfall in Iceland, Skogafoss and to Vik for lunch. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I must have seriously underestimated how far we had to drive to our cabin for the night. It&#8217;s located in the Highlands and rome2rio told me that was an hour and 15 minute drive, but I&#8217;m pretty sure we drove for about 3 hours! The cabin is only open in the summer because the roads are impassable in the winter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\"
