[Stumptown Coffee - Portland - USA] While going through my photos for this weeks travel photo I realised I didn’t have a photo of a compelling Portland landmark.

Golden Circle Tour – A best of Iceland in one day
With only a short stopover in Iceland I had planned for a day in Reykjavik, a visit to the Blue Lagoon and a day trip featuring the highlights of the land.
