Noc smo prespali BP, pa ceprav je bilo zunaj, ko sem se zbudila, enako svetlo kot takrat, ko sem sla spat. Po obilnem zajtrku - Natalie nama je zagotovila brezkoncen nasmeh na ustnicah z vprasanjem "Do you wanna make smoothies?" - smo se skidale v mesto. Zunaj je prav neprijazno pihalo in prsilo iz oblakov, ampak oblecene v majice, puloverje, flise, jakne s kapucami in sale se nismo dale. Parkirale smo tam kjer vceraj, torej pri glavni katedrali, in sle not. Katedrala je bila zgrajena sele sredi prejsnjega stoletja (se mi zdi) in ima res hud modern prizvok. Sli sva s [View Full Entry]

Ura je pol enajstih zvecer in zunaj je svetlo kot ob petih popoldne. Welcome to Reykjavik. In celih poletnih 12 stopinj. Pot do sem je bila nic spektakularnega. Prevoz z Gatwicka na Heathrow je bil, tako kot je napovedal Matija, hiter, tocen, ucinkovit in razmeroma drag (19 funtov v eno smer). Tja sva prisli par ur pred napovedanim poletom, rahlo zjebani zaradi (ze) casovne razlike in seveda premalo spanja, ampak bili sva pac v Angliji in dan je bilo treba zaceti s - Pimm's & lemonade, seveda. Na Heathrowu sva sprasili se nekaj funtov (na debetno kartico, itak) za razne smoothije [View Full Entry]

Ir dar viena diena su daugybe ispudziu. Visiskai neplanuotai ir sakyciau labai netiketai. Viena vakara parduodamas kava vokieciu turistu grupes gidei uzmezgiau visai idomu pokalbi su ja ir man pasiule kita diena prisijungti prie ju ir vykti kartu i Landmannalaugar. Be abejo neatsisakiau :) kitas rytas atejo gan greit ir mes jau pakeliui link savo tikslo kalnu kelionems pritaikytame autobuse. Vokieciu grupeje buve zmones tikrai labai nuosirdus ir siltai mane prieme, o gide Karren mane vadino ir pristate kaip praktikanta gida :) ir gan greit uzgime noras kada nors ateityje isbandyti gido darba, kuris pasirode tikrai labai idomus. Taciau jau dienos [View Full Entry]

It´s supposed to be the Golden Circle, but the tour I took did an out-and-back line. I was unsuccessful at finding a better internet connection tonight, so again no photos. I do have some good ones though, I promise! I should be able to add a bunch next week after my trek, since I think I´ll be back in Egilsstaðer (good computers there!) Anyways, the first stop on the tour today was Þingvellir, the site of Iceland´s government from 930a.d. until the 18th century. It´s an amazing place, a cliff backdrop over a wide plain with a lake and river nearby. [View Full Entry]

So, here I am in beauti...scenic...drab and grey Keflavík*. I've spent the last few hours at the airport, mostly peoplewatching, but also being bored, meeting Jesse the couchsurfer, running into Bjarki the former teacher-ish thing-guy, listening to him tell his 2 year old how ˝Daddy once saw Tinna puke because she was sooo hung over˝, et.c. Had Jesse taste Brennivín. He didn't like it. I sat next to Charlton Heston on the FlyBus. I could have sworn it was Heston if I didn't know he was dead. (Heston, that is, not the bus guy.) He was wearing a baseball cap with [View Full Entry]

Jokul being the Icelandic term for glacier, of course. I´m back in Reykjavik at the moment, but unfortunately this computer doesn´t allow USB devices to be hooked up so no photos. I´ll try to find a better venue tomorrow before I head out again! I´ve covered a lot of ground since last time. First there was an exciting bus ride along the SE coast to Skaftafell. Some parts of this road were narrow, windy, and crossing a steep mountainside above the ocean. It recalled photos of those roads in Bolivia! Well, maybe not that bad. There was a stop at Jokulsarlon, [View Full Entry]

Hello! Well, the blog-gap for the past 7 days was filled with us traveling around Iceland. Unfortunately because the days last around 36 hours over there and we had a rental car we pushed our time as far as it would go and didn't really have time for those trivial things in life such as internet, eating, and sleeping. But now we are back in Oslo, Norway and find ourselves with a day up our sleeves. Anyway, let's talk about Iceland. WOW! What an awesome place. Day 1: Pickup our car at the airport and start freaking about driving on the [View Full Entry]

We have lived the dream in Iceland and completed the first chapter of our epic journey around the world. Iceland is a land of distinct geological regions offering a wide variety of sights. The entire country is clean—very clean. The people are very resourceful, hardy and sincere people. Although Icelanders may appear to be distant or rude, it is there nature to be weary of strangers until they get to know you. We have completely enjoyed our time in this island nation of the north. Our entire experience in Iceland has been much better than either of us could have asked [View Full Entry]
