Although I was really busy for the most of March, I was lucky to have some very nice weekend trips. Working a lot, running between two jobs and some additional extra hours in the third one made me much more looking for the weekend free air!
Especially the trip on my birthday was very cheerful, full of sun with beautiful landscapes and nature in its full splendour :))))
The day was a big surprise! After so many days with grayish tones it was the first one with magnify sun and almost no wind :) It was a great gift for my birthday from Iceland, such a wonderful sunny
Saturday, 22 of March! TAKK FYRIR ISLAND. ICELAND, THANK YOU SO MUCH :)))

The trip was quite spontaneous one! To TRAVEL IN ICELAND was the nicest gift I could get.
We went only with one car. Me and two of my Polish friends that I could truly count on. In fact, I was in everyday contact with them for the last month, they were supporting me during the most difficult time that I was passing through, especially in my job search and other personal difficult social circumstances.. And I got nice presents from them even I didn't expect to receive anything on that day! All of us travellers, a lot of interest in common, all in cheerful mood. JUST A MAGNIFICENT DAY!

Our goal was just to go around
Reykjanes peninsula and see the most stunning places that are so close to Reykjavik city but seem to be so fabulous. You don't need to go far from the capital to see the miracles of Iceland, just 50-100 km is enough to move to a distant planet :)
My friends know Reykjanes very well as they live in Iceland already for many years.. Still it's a pleasure to go there having such a great weather. So we stopped first at
Kleifarvatn lake, completely frozen with winter ice, with black sand contrasting with the whiteness of the snow. It looked a little bit like an ancient Greek theatre, I am right? :) We stopped to have a chat there and enjoying the stunning view. I was running with my camera and couldn't stop taking pictures ;)

Then a short ride to
Seltún/Krýsuvík geothermal fields where we had a walk among the steamy sulfur area covered partialy with snow. Amazing, just have a look at the variety of colours :) I was there in September last year but this time I enjoyed it much more!
Next stop was at the snowy lava field coming down to ocean.. ruins of the old fisherman stone huts, black and white pathways and intensity of sun reflected in the sea water. Very enjoyable moment :)

And later on we stopped to see the beautiful cliff near Reykjanes Lighthouse where the seagull have their home.. Spectacular colours and light!

And the last stop before coming back to Reykjavik was the bridge between two continents. Euroasian and North American tectonic plates are continuously drifting apart with great forces and the huge rifts are 'the meeting place' of these two worlds. Reykjanes peninsula is really amazing!

On the way back stunning lava fields were talking to us in elven tongue, I even could see trolls and faces everywhere, it's so easy, just use your imagination :) Definitely, I need to see the Elven houses one day!
Yes, I still have to tell you the story from my next March trip, promise to do it soon!!! :)))
