Hotel Búdir

風景挺好的。

We found out about this place when I stumbled on a description of it in a book, found in a bookstore in Point Reyes, CA, called _Remote Places to Stay: The Joy of Remoteness_, which was about a few dozen places around the world. Hotel Budir --summarized as "Elegant and Romantic"--was the first one in the book. So we went there. It lived up to all our expectations. I can't understand any of the quibbles I read about in reviews (at least now that the construction's finished). The food's exquisite, and the portions are plentiful; the place is both light-filled, airy, and warmly cozy; the views from inside are beautiful and the walks outside are breathtaking. Rather than circling Iceland, we used our time to just settle here and deeply explore a magical place. Check out the accurate description in that book on remote places by Debbie Pappin and David de Vleeschauwer. You'll see why we came here. We can't believe our luck in finding Hotel Budir.
