Linda Lou Burton posting from Center Hotels Plaza, Reykjavik, Iceland<\/em> \u2013 \u201dYou wouldn\u2019t have liked it,\u201d Rick said to me. \u201cWell, actually you would have liked it a lot, but it would have been hard for you to manage. There was a lot of standing, and climbing stairs to get to the seats.\u201d He was just back from his visit to one of Iceland\u2019s newest and glitziest attractions, Flyover Iceland, which I had been dying to see since first reading about it. Another one of\"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a>those \u201crain or shine, dark or light\u201d opportunities to get out and see things; in fact, to see things that you\u2019d most likely not see on your own ANY time, like soaring above the waterfalls. At Flyover, just buckle up and enjoy the ride, safe and dry inside a building. Since the Flyover experience covered not only the scenery of Iceland but a bit of history about the formation of the island itself, and the people who settled it, I figured by tomorrow we\u2019d we well-prepared for the all-day bus tour around the Golden Circle. And I was right, except for one itty bitty problem. I didn\u2019t get to go. I zonked out after Perlan. Energy, gone. In the taxi on the way to the Flyover, exhaustion struck. At least I know when I\u2019m licked. I asked the driver to let me off at the hotel, and I went straight to bed. \u201cPlease enjoy!\u201d I said to Rick. \"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

And so, he did. Flyover Iceland https:\/\/www.flyovericeland.com\/experience\/<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

You would enjoy it too, I promise. In fact, I\u2019m so sure you\u2019ll find it awesome, I\u2019m asking you to watch videos about Flyover Iceland from their own website. How they MADE the film is at least as interesting as what they filmed. And the good news for me — I can enjoy all of it via technology, anytime I want to, right along with you, at home. Pursuit, the company name of the filmmakers, has created a number of \u201cexperiences\u201d in other awesome places too — Alaska, Montana, the Canadian Rockies, Vancouver, Las Vegas, with Toronto opening in 2024. Access their YouTube videos from the above link — entertain yourself! Back to Earth below. \"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The photos above are our shots for the afternoon — the clearing Reykjavik sky viewed from my hotel room on the 8th floor as I woke from my nap, and Rick\u2019s view of the rain-free street-surround as he arrived back at our hotel after his Flyover adventure. <\/em><\/p>\n

Isn’t Reykjavik the neatest place?<\/em><\/p>\n
