Roving I Recap: Weird in Reykjavik

Maybe it was the jet lag or maybe it's just Iceland, but on a stroll through the streets of Reykjavik on our first night in the country, we found ourselves surrounded by several odd things. 

Like the above image. Do you think it's supposed to be the House of Icelandic Design which includes Food, Art & Music? Or the House of Icelandic which includes Design, Food, Art & Music? Either way, there are kitties in the crest.

This little duck-footed gem was dangling in a residential street window near the Hallgrímskirkja, eerily twirling in the chilly July air. 

I spotted this unconventional unicorn bust perched atop a modern home in the City Center. And, yes, that is a boob. 

And finally, there's this guy. At least he has goals. And 3D glasses. 

Glamorous Iceland

In a few weeks, we'll be traveling to one of the most remote and unpopulated countries in the world - Iceland. And while I'm looking forward to the adventure, I'm also a little nervous about it. I don't like the cold. At all. I dread winter. Snow generally disagrees with me. And ice, well, I'm not what you call graceful on solid ground and therefore significantly less so on frozen water. Luckily, we're traveling in summer when the days are long (20+ hours of daylight) and aside from the massive glaciers throughout the country, temperatures for the most part should be around 60F.

When I came across these posh places to stay in "the land of ice and fire," I started to feel a lot more comfortable about our vacation decision. And while accommodations of any kind can be few and far between outside of Reykjavik, these three promise to be worth the trek.

• Ion Luxury Adventure Hotel - Golden Circle Area, Iceland
• Hotel Grimsborgir - Grimsnes, South Iceland
• Hotel Budir - Sneafellsnes Peninsula, West Iceland
