Lake Myvatn and surroundings

Up north
... one end of town, it's within easy walking distance of the city (cuz the city is quite tiny) One very nice thing about Akureyri are the free local buses (even if they only go every hour) and the town is quite quaint...there are a few shops ...
Me and the Frozen Greek
Yesterday I flew from Reykjavik in the south to Akureyri, the capital of the north. Due to the dense cloud cover the only remarkable part of the flight was the plane. I can't remember the last time I was in a propeller driven ...
Bring on poolside nudity

The good and the bad
... remembered that Reykjavik means "smokey bay" (I think) so after some prodding the girl at the museum desk figured out that Akureyri means (roughly) "grassy bank by the sandy beach". OK then. Up till now, I'd somehow missed the thermal ...

Aftur heim
Allar ferðir taka enda og þessi síðasti dagur var ósköp rólegur. Rúta flutti okkur út á Kastrup, flugið heim var á áætlun og þegar til Keflavíkur var komið beið eftir okkur rúta. Fararstjórinn fékk að vísu létt stresskast þegar ...
