Dear All This blog entry sends greetings from Iceland! When I arrived in this amazing country, I couldn't quite believe I was there. It is one of those mythical places you often read or hear about, but never imagine being able to visit. I felt the same about Japan, the Galapagos Islands, and now this remarkable island! I had it very much confirmed during my first few days, even hours there, that ... Read Full Entry

Hello there! Thanks for reading my blog. I started it in 2010 to keep a record of my travels, to let people know how I'm going, and also to keep me sane at times while I'm on the road! I have written up my 28 most recent journeys so far, and have no plans at all to stop travelling just yet. 93 countries down, 102 more to go - watch this space! Alex... full info

Iceland Adventures!
You are an experienced sailor now Alex! What a voyage from the Faroes to Iceland you had - future sea voyages will likely be tame in comparison! It sounds like you are having an incredible time in Iceland so far :)

Arrr, salty sea dog here, lol! It certainly was a good way of arriving in Iceland I thought, just like the ancient Vikings when they first set foot there! 😊

Taking Time to Enjoy the Natural World
I thoroughly enjoyed reading about your exciting experiences from the rocky sea crossing from the Faroes to your landing and first forays into Iceland. In addition, the sometimes complete isolation from human contact in lots of places can either be wonderful in some ways or a bit scary if anything were to happen to you or your rental car! Glad you were able to fix the car yourself!! While I visited Reykjavik in 1983 during a flight layover night, I got to see more of the country in 2018 -- and wow, what a change! At that time I got to appreciate much more of the country's striking natural beauty while visiting the Snӕfellsnes Peninsula as I'm very sure you did where ever you ventured! Great, great photos!!

Natural World
Ah, thanks Sylvia. There is so much nature, unique and beautiful, to see in Iceland. I'm glad you've also been able to see the country, and I imagine indeed there must have been quite a change between your visits. Yes, I felt blessed to have been able to fix the car issue myself, it really brought it home to me how isolated one may become while travelling in Iceland, so I think it was a good lesson to learn early on, to perhaps avoid doing anything foolish later on. Ah, indeed, I did visit the amazing Snӕfellsnes Peninsula later on, which I'll be writing about. I think it was my favourite place in the country, out of so many to choose from! Thank you for reading and for commenting 😊

Lol, thanks anyway Alan. I think you'd enjoy Iceland. The birdwatching is amazing - I loved it, and I'm not even a birdwatcher!

Thanks Alan! Iceland was amazing. It was the icing on the top of an already amazing Scandinavian cake so far!

We were supposed to have gone to Iceland in either May or June this year but work put a halt to those plans. Hopefully we will go there next year instead. Thanks for posting so many lovely photos. /Ake
