Reykjavík Grapevine - 10.04.2015, Side 28

Words & Photos Larissa Kyzer
Ideally, all of your travels in Iceland would be accompanied
by mild weather and cloudless skies, but waiting for perfect
weather in this country is much like waiting for Godot. This
shouldn’t faze you, though, because the shoulder seasons
(September and October, March and April) are frequent-
ly, if intermittently, lovely. They are typically a bit cold and
windy—but also bright and clear and with enough daylight
to allow for a decent day’s hiking or sightseeing. On a re-
cent three-day drive along the South coast, my partner and
I went to see some new sights and return to some favou-
rites. Here are a few highlights.
