... then separated by ear tags, dragged into the appropriate wedge and then taken home; I guess by truck, but I don't really know.  I'd love to return to see the process.  They don't always get all of them on the first try (some of those sheep were up on impossibly steep and high slopes) and go out again a couple of weeks later.  Apparently sometimes the sheep they miss have to find their own way to a farm when the weather turns nasty.

After breakfast, we headed for Akureyri, Iceland's second largest 'city' via Godafoss a very beautiful waterfall.........yes another one. I wish the UK cities were as nice as Akureyri - not a bit of litter anywhere and very cute houses on the side of a fjord. We drank coffee in a book shop and managed to find a great kids book with lots of Icelandic Elf ...

Ils ont eu très peur tous les deux.


Les Trolls sont des êtres qui ressemblent aux hommes, mais très costauds. Ils sont très grands et très forts mais ce sont des costauds gentils. Ils n’ont pas voulu se battre avec les Vikings et se cachèrent sous la terre pour qu’on ne leur fasse pas de mal. C’est pour çà qu’on ne les a pas vus durant notre enquête.

Cà siffle, çà glougloute, çà sent le soufre, çà brûle si on touche….











C’est jaune, bleu, blanc, rouge, noir. Un vrai festival qui vient du fond de la terre. Les Trolls sont à l’œuvre. Les entrées de l’enfer sont ornées ...

We just at an excellent meal at the Slovik in Hofsos (hot sauce?) Turns out were right next to a museum about Iceland's were immigrated to Canada. The largest population to migrate from Iceland happened right here.

As I said, I got an early start and was on the road at 7:30. I took highway 1 for a while but then headed north on route 85 towards the whaling town of Husavik. This was a scenic drive around a peninsula and it eventually took me to the northern edge of Jokulsarglyjufur National Park (try saying that three times fast!) At the northern edge is the Asburgi Canyon, about 1 kilometer wide and up to 100 meters deep. It was rather unimpressive I'm afraid to say. Better was ...

... hotel chain in Iceland). She called a few places and managed to get me booked for one night relatively close to the park - Hurray! I tried to tip her for all the work she'd done on my behalf but she wouldn't have it and simply said, "It's my job." What a foreign concept, eh? Refreshing to say the least. I left Laugarbakki at about 9:30 and my plan was to drive up to a seal colony called Hindisvik, but I must've missed the turnoff ...

Fossen fikk navnet sitt i år 1000 etter det ble bestemt at Island skulle være kristent og alle avgud-statuene ble kastet uti her... Etter litt historie og religion og sånnt dro vi videre nordover til Krafla og vulkanen Viti. Viti hadde en helt sprø farge på vannet, blå-turkis....veldig fint :-) Fra Viti dro vi videre til Leirhnjukur Solfataras som er ...
