Snaefellsnes and Westfjords
... their alleged territory, screeching bloody murder on their approach to your scalp. I thought the attacks were personal until later I witnessed other poor souls running through the fields flinging their hands madly trying to deflect the feathery aggressors.
Although the mountains still sported snow, as a result from a colder, wetter than expected June, a woman told me that the Snaefellsness Peninsula region had so little snowfall this winter that ...

We also missed an alleged natural and secluded hot pot we were told to look ...
