Awesome Blog!
Wow! What a great blog so far! I've been following you in Iceland and the landscape looks breathtaking! Looking forward to the "bang" of southern Iceland ;) “All the pathos and irony of leaving one’s youth behind is thus implicit in every joyous moment of travel: one knows that the first joy can never be recovered, and the wise traveler learns not to repeat successes but tries new places all the time.” Safe journey guys!

Prices in Ireland
Just a quick comment about this quote "but I'd hazard that the Irish are at least partially inflating prices to punish the clueless tourists" I am from Ireland and I can assure you that prices are in general extremely high all over the country not just in the tourist areas. The country has been hit by recesssion and still the prices have not lowered in fact prices have rose for certain items and services. The country of Ireland rely heavily on tourism, the goverment do not just rip off the tourist but the rip off the citizens of this country too. So i would disagree with the above quoted statement. On a more positive note, I enjoyed reading your blog and sorry to hear of the horrible weather you encountered on your stay. These days May is the best month for sunshine.

Trees
Iceland actually used to be covered in trees, however the don't grow very well due to the weather and soil, so after man came and cut them all down, they have never quite recovered. I actually found a whole forest of big trees somewhere in the eastern side where they are trying to bring the leafy towers back to life. A primary school teacher of mine was icelandic and always spoke of her utter amazement when she first travelled overseas and saw trees in such abundance. But I totally agree, one of the biggest draw cards of the place are the unobstructed views of the landscape. Especially for those of us wanting to take great photos!!!

pedantry
Enjoyed the blog, consistently interesting. With the ability to illustrate with captioned photos it was superior to an email with attached photos. Some pedantry: A "segue" is a smooth transition between bits (usually musical, now more commonly newsreaderal). A "Segway" is one of those improbable stand-up, two-wheeled conveyances for the ultra-lazy urbanite.

Iceland
Hello I've forwarded you an email from a mate of mine who did a first rate job describing Iceland travel and inspired us to go there. I too have considered moving there but having just lived somewhere where it's always cold and dark half the year (not as bad as iceland but bad enough) I couldn't do it cheers Nick

last of england Blog
we can see why you're blogging and not just emailing We LOVED it !!!! What a wonderful start to your big adventure home. At least it will be a fine diary for you. If you don't write it up as you go you will never remember all you have done. I think you will not have sacrificed an hour each night. We loved Clovelly, St Ives and Tintagel. I think the time of year and the weather (sunny, blue no wind ) made these places charming for us. Will print out this blog for next time we are in England - We want to do more of the Cornwall Devon coast. Lots of rain here and cool We have now painted the front room,hall, toilet, laundry.Built in mirror wardrobe in front room all toys packed away Just bookshelves and trundle bed- very tidy, as is my made over laundry. We want to work on Steph's old bedroom next. We have regardened down the side leading to the front door. Iceland next for you Much love Mother and Don XX
