Ten ruoscaroniausi jau seniai bet vis darbas arba oras sukliudydavo mano planams. Su kuo teko kalb279ti apie si miesteli dauguma sakydavo kad ten visiscaronkai nera ka veikti jis maas neidomus ir scaroniaip visisapusiskai nepatrauklus. Keista nes galiu pasakyti visiscaronkai kitaip. Man jis pasirode daug jaukesnis ir graze http://www.travelblog.org/Europe/Iceland/South/blog-319462.html Today was meant to be one of the highlights of our trip with a visit to the Jokulsarlon Lagoon. Yes it was certainly spectacular if you pointed your camera in the right direction but I was expecting a larger lagoon not quite so near the main road. So I turned my gaze from civilisation and soon I was miles aways amonst the icebergs and yes seals The glacier is melting more and more each year s http://www.travelblog.org/Europe/Iceland/South/blog-316867.html We had a good night's sleep at a lovely guest house with fairy houses outside. Yes we are still waiting to spot them. The little houses looked well used outside and well situated. Our rooms were comfortable with a great view of the mountains behind. Birds sang in the shrubs outside and we were convinced we saw something moving behind a small rock. Maybe the local trolls coming to visit We we http://www.travelblog.org/Europe/Iceland/South/blog-316851.html After a night in a somewhat interesting guesthouse we journeyed on towards the National Park. Our first stop was at the most beautiful waterfall in the world. Yes. I've changed my mind today or at least it was the most beautiful waterfall today. We stopped at the Seljalandsfoss waterfall where it is possible to walk behind. Once again there were only a few people ahead of us so photos came out w http://www.travelblog.org/Europe/Iceland/South/Vik/blog-316837.html The little fella redeemed himself It was the windiest weather I have ever seen or felt all night in Vik thus keeping my tent thoroughly vented and not one drop of condensation was able to buy property in my tent. So I woke up Sunday morning completely dry and caught a bus to the next village of Skogar. I met up again with Ethan the med student from Taiwan and he was also going to Skogar. We http://www.travelblog.org/Europe/Iceland/South/Vestmannaeyjar/blog-314285.html So now it's Saturday afternoon. I passed on staying at the National Park because it was as usual raining. The bus ride today took me past one of the nicest places I've seen in Iceland so far. It's a lagoon near the ocean and there is a glacial tongue at the end of it. As ice breaks off the glacier it becomes icebergs that float in the lagoon for up to 5 years before finding their way to the ocea http://www.travelblog.org/Europe/Iceland/South/Vik/blog-312849.html Ok so first an appology. I didn't really think anyone would read this journal so I have been really rather lax with the spell check. I have just read back through a couple of entries and it is really annoying and I am so sorry I type really really fast and make a lot of mistakes and I am too bone idle to read back over my entires and correct them. I will try harder to type properly from no http://www.travelblog.org/Europe/Iceland/South/Vestmannaeyjar/blog-312035.html Above iceland. We try hard to drink ourselves into a stupor and sleep it off for the rset of the flight to Miami. It is James039 turn to go to the kitchen and get us some more cans of Grolsch GOOD DUTCH BEER MON but a group of germans have the same intentions as we have and block his way to the kitchen and all the icecold beer in it the very purpose of his trip. Being physically speak http://www.travelblog.org/Europe/Iceland/South/Vik/blog-311250.html Need I say we had another wonderful day I am seriously so in love with Iceland. I never want to leave. It is the most beautiful country on the face of the earth I love every bit of the scenery it's all so amazing. The mountains the black sand beaches the glaciers the friggin' ICEBERGS It's heaven here. Today we flew to Hofn right on the other side of the country.We started off at the crack http://www.travelblog.org/Europe/Iceland/South/Hofn/blog-309904.html I am bone tired right now. Its so great to finally be in bed Another fantastic day although I fear I will go home with a hole warn in my walking boots The hire car did us proud today as we embarked on a 190km drive from Reykjavik to Dyrholaey on the south coast. It was a brilliant drive actually route 1 is incredibly scenic you drive right at the foot hills of the most beautiful mountains. http://www.travelblog.org/Europe/Iceland/South/Vik/blog-309545.html Taigi taigi pagaliau vel rasau ir turiu bent kazka aprasyti. Tik pradziai siek tiek informacijos. Vestmannaeyjar yra salos prie pat Islandijos kelione keltu i jas truko 3 valandas. Salose pilna uolu ir jose besiveisianciu pauksciu tai vienas is sios vietoves atributu. Taip pat saloje yra ugnikalnis kuris po paskutiniojo issiverzimo ikaitino zeme tiek jog pakasus siek tiek dar galima jausti si http://www.travelblog.org/Europe/Iceland/South/Vestmannaeyjar/blog-308681.html Portem tres dies de viatge i costa trobar adjectius per definir tot el que estem veient i sentint. Islndia s pura mgia. s com visitar diferents paisos per no dir planetes en un mateix. Un es sent minscul enmig de la inmensitat de la naturalesa pura incorrompuda de la la illa volcans cascades inimaginables terres rides paisatges impossibles glaciars icebergs llacs inabastables riu http://www.travelblog.org/Europe/Iceland/South/Hofn/blog-308632.html Dragi moji. CeKo greste na Islandijo pojdite na Westmannske otoke. Nujno.In to se posebej ce je lepo vreme kot se je kot nalasc naredilo vceraj za naju. Najprej smo imeli pri Natalie spet fancy zajtrk spet smo mleli sadne smoothieje kuhali jasmin zeleni caj in podobno kar clovek pocne ne doma ampak ze kar v hotelu. Potem pa naju je Natalie zapeljala na postajo BSI v Reykjaviku kjer sva i http://www.travelblog.org/Europe/Iceland/South/Vestmannaeyjar/blog-306829.html Ponoci je dezevalo in pihalo tako da sem bila malo paranoicna da nama bo odneslo sotor izjave prejsnjega vecera v stilu ni paaanike staaari sej za eno noc ni treba tok klinov prbijat mi niso bile v pomoc ampak se je na sreco vse izkazalo bolj kot plod polsna. Zjutraj je bilo vse popolnoma BP. Ker se je kafic odprl sele ob 10h nisem sicer prepricana zakaj cakajo toliko casa ce pa je da http://www.travelblog.org/Europe/Iceland/South/Hofn/blog-304125.html Zjutraj sva se pac morali posloviti od Natalie tear tear luksuz vorbei ki naju je zategnila do rezkjavikega mestnega letalisca da sva prevzeli najin rent a car pri kakopak Budget agenciji. Ker kao niso imeli najinega avtomobila razred Opel Corsa 1.0 3 vrata so nama ponudili nekega suzuki jeepa ki baje stane dvakrat vec. Ozrli sva se proti Jimnyju ali kot je poznan med prijatelji http://www.travelblog.org/Europe/Iceland/South/Vik/blog-304122.html Iceland was apparently named by a disgruntled settler who lost all his livestock in a particularly harsh winter. Given the numbers of volcanos geysers and gushing steam vents alongside glaciers and snow topped mountains many people argue that the country should in fact be called Fire and Iceland. Good point. But...what do you get when you mix fire and ice Yes that's right. Water. And I c http://www.travelblog.org/Europe/Iceland/South/blog-301638.html Kitaip turbut ir neina pavadinti nes siandien isitikinau kas turima omenyje kai sakoma kad Islandijoj pasijausi tarsi butum Menulyje ar kokioj kitoj planetoj. Skirtumas turbut tik toks kad cia veikia Zemes trauka manoji diena prasidejo anksti is pat ryto persikrausciau i savo naujuosius namus ir paskui patraukiau link Highlands i Islandijos centrine dali i svecius pas Neringa ir Ruta. P http://www.travelblog.org/Europe/Iceland/South/blog-295288.html Pagaliau atejo su nekantrumu laukta birzelio 28 diena. Sunku ir patiketi kad siandien Bjrk ir Sigur Rs koncertas. Viskas vienoje scenoje Reikjavike. Durys i koncerta 17val tad iki tol turejome nemazai laiko pasivaikscioti po Reikjavika pasizvalgyti aplinkui. Apsilankem Flea market turgelyje kur pilna ivairiausiu sendaikciu ir kitokiu idomiu nieku nuo kinisko slamsto iki ivairiasiu plokstel http://www.travelblog.org/Europe/Iceland/South/blog-295263.html ldquoVk mrdalrdquo ilanka tamsiajame slenyje yra 129 km i rytus nuo Selfoss. Keliauti autobusu nebutu buve pigu ldquotikrdquo 81 litas. O dar reikes ir grizti atgal. Uz tokia suma mazdaug 12 kartu i Vilniu is Marijampoles galeciau nuvaziuoti todel kronu taupymo sumetimais sugalvojau tranzuoti. Ir visiskai neapsigavau Pirmoji masina uz Selfoss ribos sustojo gal po 5min. Malon http://www.travelblog.org/Europe/Iceland/South/blog-292183.html Islandijos sostine kur zmoniu koncentracija didesne nei kitose sios salies vietose. Garsusis Reikjavikas paliko gana keista ispudi nors nesakau kad man jis nepatiko. Tiesiog kazkuo kitoks miestas nei visi iki siol matyti. Kai kur labai jaukus ir siltas o kai kur visiskai nesuprantamas. Gal del to kad smarkiai pleciasi ir vyksta daug statybu. Islandai piktinasi kad senamiestis darkomas pana http://www.travelblog.org/Europe/Iceland/South/blog-292175.html Tai du miesteliai easntys vos 12km nuo Selfoss. Juos aplankiau paciomis pirmomis dienomis tiksliau per savo pirma laisva diena. Pries vaziuodamas pavarciau zemelapius kad nepasiklysciau pasiskaiciau apie miestus kad pamatyciau kuo daugiau. Pamatyti tai pamaciau nemazai bet pasiklysti ir noredamas nepasiklysi abejuose gyvena po mazdaug 500 zmoniu.

Al lleg http://www.travelblog.org/Europe/Iceland/South/Vestmannaeyjar/blog-283244.html Hello Everyone It's been quite some time since I've revisted the travel journal but I have set off alone for the great land of Iceland and the midnight sun. I've always wanted to visit Iceland I'm not sure why but for some reason it has always spoken to me. Reykjavik is the northernmost capital in the world and quite possibly the most expensive. The cuntryside is where it's at though waterfal http://www.travelblog.org/Europe/Iceland/South/blog-280853.html Hola a tods otra vez Despus de unos das movidos entre viajecitos visitas inesperadas lo siento Peln y un poco de faena que no sienta mal de vez en cuando me dispongo a explicaros lo que fue nuestro primer viaje serio por Islandia.
