    October 7, 2016 / No Comments

    Day 3 in Iceland we awoke to a slightly cloudy and cool morning.  We were excited that the tour we booked today would include a glacier hike, volcano and black sand beach.  We were ready for the time the local agency handling the tour stated and at the assigned hotel for pick up.  When the bus didn’t arrive we called the…
