Hotel Lundi Vik

Первы&#10 81; опыт ночев&#10 82;и в хосте&#10 83;е. Недов&#10 86;лен. Прост&#10 99;ня какая-&#1 090;о грязн&#10 72;я, одеял&#10 86; не по р&#1072 ...

... sheepskin, arctic fox skin, seal skin and also reindeer (caribou).<br>We'd just driven through an intense rain squall and the rainbow came out.  Linda took these pictures.<br>You can see the steeply curved slopes behind the town.  This is what most of this eastern area looked like with these abrupt, steeply sided slopes rising up.  Many times they flattened out on top.  Some were isolated, so ...

... the culture here and the general Scandanavian culture in general, they are really polite and freindly people and very welcoming. I would love to one day live in Scandanvia ideally Stockholm or Norway because of the high standard of living but I dont know about Iceland, it might just be a little bit to quite for me I think as Reykavik reminds me of the kind of place where everyone knows everyone and its a little bit to small for me, but still a lovely place.

<br>Thankfully we still have one more week in Iceland -we have seen so much in this one day!! <br>-A beautiful waterfall that we walked behind and watched rainbows emerge from the mist. <br>-Kilometre long shores stretching shallow waters in the sun to sparkle silver as they reach for the ocean.<br>-Farms and houses build into the cliff sides. <br>-Towering castles of rock formations crowing colourful and jagged peaks.<br>-Soft rolling green farmland hills.<br><br>Here we are ...

... rain.' we were told. Not the best of conditions, but we knew when we planned our trip that the country was a little greyer and wetter at this time of year, so we decided to go ahead. Our route started on the same route as yesturday, through the highlands past the Hveragerði , but instead of going north, this time we continued along the Ring Road. (The Ring Road, or route #1, is so named because it cicles the country, forming a ring around it's permiter). After ...

... a glacier. The coach picked us up at eight am and we drove east from Reykjavik for about an hour and a half. Clearly I had not put much thought into what I was volunteering myself for when I signed up yesterday, so when we pulled up to the glacier and saw people hiking along the volcanic rock and ash adjacent to it I felt confident enough. The scariest bit so far was the bus ride there, driving along wet gravelly roads, precariously close to the sides which were ...

... the opportunity to be of some service... benefits go gar beyond the program served and most emphatically to the individual participant...when do you have the opportuniity to live/work in such an international collection of people? and it was sort of like the old encounter group type of experience...at Thorsmorck there was really nowhere to go to escape..for two weeks you were always with the group or at least kept coming back to the same ...

... busdriver dropped me off near a good starting point along Road1. I raised my thumb and in less than 2 minutes I was on my way to Hvergardi together with Anna and her friend. I asked Anna how it is to live in Iceland. "Oh it´s beautiful in summer, but not so nice in winter - but you get used to it though" she replied. "But it´s beautiful in summer" she repeated as to make it clear that summer was worth surving the winter ...

... the little homes...we heard organ music and several voices singing a hymn. The only other people there were in the church. The wind carried their song. It was so quiet out there...and their voices and the organ music was the only sound except for the wind in our ears. Magic. So peaceful. Of course, you get back on the road--and then begin seeing signs warning of imminent danger if Katla erupts. Katla volcano is one of Iceland's most destructive ...
