Traveling the Ring Road of Iceland: Husavik is the World's Hometown

As we continue our journey around the Ring Road of Iceland, we come to Husavik, the town we knew we were going to love.

As you reach the wonderful northern side of Iceland, Husavik becomes a must see.  Made famous in the move Eurovison Song Contest: The Story of Fire Saga, Husavik provides a warm welcome even on the coldest of days.  

Located on the edge of the Artic circle, the first picture was a snap of the map.  The location setting on your phone provides documented evidence you have reached the most remote parts of the earth.  When wandering the streets and meeting people, it doesn't feel as though you're on the edge of the world.  But a quick snap says that's exactly where you are.

Considered a remote fishing village, Husavik gained popularity after being the setting for a major film starring famous actors and actresses.  The town sits on the edge of a fjord, surrounded by stunning landscapes.  The clouds rolled in and out, revealing breathtaking moments we couldn't get enough.

We made our way through the marina to the Ja Ja Ding Dong bar.  While this bar was not open during filming, it was created to share information on the Eurovision Song Contest.  We took a stroll through the museum connected to the bar and learned so many fun facts about the history of Eurovision.  It was well worth the walk and the ticket price!

We then headed around town.  Husavik is a wonderful town to walk.  

We then dinner had at Naustid.  Known for it's seafood, this quaint restaurant was the perfect spot for dinner after a busy day of traveling around the Diamond Circle.

Lastly, we finished our day with tickets to the geothermal spa.  We'll share more, but this was definitely an experience worth taking.  

A moment in the north or Iceland is worth everything to get there.
