Wrapping Up...
Grey. That is my overwhelming impression of Iceland. Grey skies, grey rocks, grey water, grey buildings. I marvelled at the lack of color in the country. Maybe I'm jaded by all those lush tropical places with layers of colors you ...
2 mánuðir í seyðisfjörð úje
Jæja, það styttist í ferðina og mér datt í hug að það væri góð hugmynd að gera svona síðu til að fylgjast með og skoða seinna... (og ég hafði ekkert að gera núna heldur þannig þetta var upplagt hehe) Hér verður hægt að hlaða ...

A twitchers (bird watchers) paradise

A Bit of Reykjavik
Opening Day--Reykjavik We didn't take many pictures in Reykjavik, don't know why except to say that I dislike looking like the tourist I am, snapping photos at every building, street and harbor. Of course, that didn't stop me later on in our trip, but I ...
Arctic Adventures
On his own again, our hero has made his way to the arctic circle, more specifically Iceland. A country so alien in it's beauty, like no place he's ever seen on Earth. The sun as expected did not set until late in the evening so this allowed for plenty of ...
A night or is it day in Reykjavik?
I get some washing done at the hostel, they have a washing machine and supply the wash liquid, but there is no drier. After a meal and beer in the bar of the Kex, I go out at 10:30pm for a walk around this part of Reykjavic. Out across ...

Iceland's only true piece of Arctic territory
Hallo, habe einen Ausflug zur Insel Grimsey unternommen, die 46km noerdlich der Kueste Islands liegt. Der Polarkreis kreuzt diese Insel, die 90 Einwohner hat, und ist daher das einzige Gebiet Islands das noerdlich des Polarkreises liegt. Man faehrt mit ...

Sick...
