nykeiko travels: Hiking to Iceland's tallest (second tallest?) waterfall with a baby- Glymur

Nope that's the wrong way!

OH HELLO! I'm alive! Yes, yes. New job, semi-new baby and life is getting in the way of me posting a proper blog post here. Not yet ready to share a glimpse of my daughter's life makes it very difficult to blog about anything at all since she is 100% part of my life now. She just turned 16 months (December update: she is now 23 months. This is a very late post) and I am finally in love with her cuteness, personality and quirky personality.  It is hard not to find a picture without her in it on my phone. I could blog about her all day (not really, because I don't have time for that anymore!.  Don't ask me where I'm writing this at the moment. Could be on the poop bowl, on the bus, lunch time, in bed...).

I am determined to write at least one blog post about our Iceland trip and it's going to be about the time we went for a hike to find Iceland's tallest waterfall and got lost one too many times (with a baby in tow!). 

Here is what we wanted to achieve on our 7-day trip in Iceland:

I survived camping...and got some great pictures too!

It is always nice to take a little getaway from the city.

Find inner peace

13 young adults leave their homes to set out in the wilderness for one night at Little Pond in Catskills NY.

After overcoming all the crappy things that come with camping such as: bugs, mud, cold, dirt, no hot showers, bear threats,  I went camping with an open mind and had a really good time although I could not wait to come home to take a shower. I prepped myself with 3 things I found important: 1. Bug repellent 2. Wet wipes (for face and body) 3 Marshmallows.  The highlight of the trip was to see a real live bald eagle over the pond. An adult and a juvenile one on different days. I felt blessed to see a rare bird like that. We also saw chipmunks, frogs, snakes, woodpeckers and fortunately no bears.

Tent for 4

We went hiking for a couple of hours

There's a juvenile bald eagle in this picture at Little Pond. Spot him?

We thought he looked like a gummy
