Chasing Waterfalls, Rainbows, and Northern Lights: Iceland Day 2 Magic! 🌈💦❄️✨

Another beautiful morning in Iceland started with a cozy homemade breakfast at our Airbnb. ☕🍳 There’s something so comforting about a slow, peaceful morning before a day packed with adventures! First stop: the breathtaking Brúarfoss, often called Iceland’s “blue waterfall.” The water was a stunning, electric blue — it almost didn’t feel real! We hiked a little to get there, but every step was totally worth it for that view. 💙🏞️ Next up, we visited the famous Geysir geothermal area. Watching the geyser erupt was so exciting — the water would bubble and then suddenly shoot high into the sky! It felt like the earth itself was showing off a little bit. 🌋💦 After that, we made our way to Gullfoss, one of Iceland’s most iconic waterfalls. And guess what? We were lucky enough to see a rainbow stretching across the falls! It was pure magic, like stepping into a fairytale. 🌈✨ Our waterfall tour didn’t stop there! We visited Faxafoss, a smaller but equally beautiful waterfall nearby. It was quieter and felt more peaceful — the perfect place to just pause and soak in the beauty of Iceland. 🌿💧 After a quick grocery run 🛒🍫, we thought the day couldn’t get any better — but Iceland had one more surprise for us. That night, we were blessed with an incredible show of Northern Lights dancing across the sky! It was absolutely surreal, with green and purple waves shimmering above us. A perfect, magical ending to a dreamy day! ✨❄️ #icelandday2 #chasingwaterfalls #bruarfoss #geysir #gullfoss
