lost on the moon?
This is a top pick! ... WAY out of the way for...and then we aim the Yaris in the direction of the highest farm in all of Iceland, Mothrudalur...the rather stone-hearted woman at the tourist info desk in Egilsstdtir, who used far more profanity than I thought appropriate ...
Shooting sheep and a minor miracle
... was at the hotel and I dined on vegetable cutlets in a peanut sauce and some tomato soup. It's the healthiest food I've had in Iceland. It was pretty good, but not altogether memorable. The rest of the evening, it was just me & Captain Corelli - a fine ...
Day 9: July 15, 2007 Reykjahliš to Egilstašir
Day 9: July 15, 2007 Reykjahliš to Egilstašir I swear that one of the reasons I come to Iceland is to get a good sleep! I did not awaken in the night for the first time in years. I got up at 7:00, ...
A Soggy Day and a Snog-worthy Bobby Ewing?
... as the Lawnmower Man had said when I awoke this morning. And it never improved - it rained all bloody day! Sure, Iceland is still amazingly beautiful smothered in rain and fog but my pictures can't capture that. I'm becoming increasingly disappointed with ...
Another new land to explore
We left Seydisfjordur on the 93 a fully paved road meandering up through the snow covered mountains and stopped at Egilsstadir for provisions. It was about 08:50 when we arrived and the supermarket was still closed. I crossed the road ...
A burger and fries
I stop at the supermarket in Egilsstašir, for supplies. The ferry is not cheap so it will ease the cost of breakfast and lunch. I need some meat to go with tonight's pasta delight! Nico turns up, finding me sitting in the sun at an outside table, I had ...
Two great but dusty drives
... a different (equally dusty) route back up the river valley. This one took us past a hydroelectric plant – it makes sense that Iceland would have many of these, but we’ve seen so many geothermal, and so many of the rivers are all untamed, that ...
30 Kilometers of Bad Road
... east road which was washboarded, bumpy and dusty...but we got there. This waterfall is on the second largest river in Iceland and flows from the Vatnajökull icecap (third largest in the world after the north and south poles...) and flows into the ...
Picking up the pace through the Eastfjords
Picking up the pace through the Eastfjords We left Skaftafell on a gloomy drizzley day, biking under the figurative shadow of the massive icecap. Our guidebook described this stretch of road as "views of the glittering glaciers and brooding mountains ...
Skaftafell
... , and it worked. Then on the bus to Skaftafell I got to sit by Diana from Munig Germany. Her and a friend were biking around Iceland and they needed to take the bus across this one part because of the rivers. She was very nice and I ended up bumping into ...
Off for the last shop in Egilsstadir
... on the horizon ahead. It might get a bit cooler yet on the final run in. One last bridge and into Egilsstadir, which has a half decent supermarket. The last chance to stock up at a place with any choice before the ferry. ...
East Fjordland
Today we headed off from the hotel to journey through the East Fjordlands, with a quick stop in Hofn on the way to look at the glacier exhibition. The whole area reminded us of Scotland if a little windier. The car swayed from side to side as we ...

Sight-seeing to Egilsstadir, Iceland
... sand beach; the attendant wide valley is the delta area for two major rivers, one of which led us to our destination, Egilsstadir. The flight had taken just under 2.5hrs and although the sun was shining through clear skies above, the 10kt northerly wind ...
Dag 6: van höfn naar egilsstadir
... als in het frans. Er is ook een klein kerkhofje met franse zeelieden die vergingen voor de ijslandse kust. Voor we naar egilsstadir reden hadden we nog 1 stop gepland. In de gids die we via ijslandreizen hadden gekregen hadden we iets gelezen over een ...
Fljótsdalshérad
... ; fakt potřebuješ něco stopnout, tak jsou dva levely. Nejdřķv si zkus obléc Tįrikovo tirko s nįpisem Lost in Iceland a trošku se uprav. Když to nepomůže, tak si hoď baťoh na hrb a kousek jdi. Funguje ...
Bręšslan!
... city in east Iceland. It was amazing to fly across the country because I got to see part of Vatnajökull, the largest glacier in Iceland. It was immense. You could see patterns of ash and little blue green lakes on the surface of the glacier. I tried to ...
East Coast Iceland
Well, we spent two days traveling up the east coast of Iceland to where we will catch the ferry back to the Faroe Islands. We had some bad weather including rain, fog and some bad cross winds, mud gravel and rocks. However occasionally there was a break ...
Day 5 - Mżvatn to Egilsstašir
This morning I took the bus to Egilsstašir to wait for a day until I can take the bus to Skaftafell. There really isn“t much going on here. It“s claim to fame is that it“s a transportation hub. Not very exciting....just industrial and boring. The ...
Day one
The trip started by meeting our travel companions for the night. We met at 5pm at a gas station at the edge of the town of Egilsstašir. From there we drove to Möšrudalur in the north. From there we went by a mountain road toward ...
Fantastic Fjords ( not a Holden to be seen)
... we visit is Neskaupstadur via Reydarfjordur and Eskifjordur. To do this we must travel via the highest highway pass (630m) in Iceland through an alarming 603 m single lane tunnel and then drop like a falcon into the town! The tunnel was alarming because ...
The Eastern Fjords
... Dear Readers: A light mist and fog enshroud the mountains this morning as we make our way up the coast of Iceland into the Eastern Fjords. Our first stop is at Djupivogur where a few people stay in town to read or visit a museum, and ...
Ijsland part 2
Hallo allemaal, Een updatevanuit Ijsland. De guesthouses waar we verblijven zijn over het algemeen zeer goed. Enkel degene waar we nu zitten is een beetje minder. Onze kamer is net groot genoeg om de bedden in te plaatsen. De muren lijken van ...
