The relative youth of the nation geologically precludes their growth. To this point our guide asked if we knew what to do if we got lost in an Icelandic forest. After a few seconds of thought on our part she told us you stand up Okay then. Visitors to Iceland usually attempt one http://www.travelblog.org/Europe/Iceland/Northwest/Isafjordur/blog-739513.html The ceiling of the turfroofed Litlibr or Little Farm was so low my hair brushed against it. But when I sat down in the drawing room sipping a hot cup of coffee and looking out the small multipaned window to the fjord and snowflecked mountains beyond I felt quite at home. I chatted with the sixteenyear old greatgreat grandson of the man who had built the original farm and who now helpe http://www.travelblog.org/Europe/Iceland/Northwest/Isafjordur/blog-735374.html And some more photos http://www.travelblog.org/Europe/Iceland/Northwest/Isafjordur/blog-725020.html Our days are so busy that time for blogging is little. Right now June 19 we are at a guesthouse in the middle of nowhere near a the cliffs of Latrabjarg. The beach is shellsand almost white. The arctic terns nest outside our windows the plovers can be heard the wagtails twitter nature and hardly anything but nature. Yesterday was full of activities. First we went to a museum on fishing in http://www.travelblog.org/Europe/Iceland/Northwest/Isafjordur/blog-725011.html Westfjords today. It was snowing in the mountains last night but sunny as we woke up. Now we are heading to the mountains through the Valleys. One of the Sagas took place here. We spotted lots of seals as we got into the fjords. Seven fjords we had to drive before we finally got to our resting place for the night Isafjordur. Today is Icelands National Independence Day so we manage to get to t http://www.travelblog.org/Europe/Iceland/Northwest/Isafjordur/blog-724271.html Hello again. Two days have passed. The 16th was a day of touring Borgarfjordur. In the morning we droveto Paradise . . . Yes you read this correct paradise. That is a little dent in the ground where trees grow and a stream flows. Peace and quiet. Water you can drink.The Lava watwefalls were our next place to visit. Cascading down the slope water coming out of the groung and no lake above.

Mom and I were up early in the Lido for juice and to watch the scenic cruising of isafjardaandjup and Jokulfirdir. It was a bit cloudy but very pretty. We then headed to mass breakfast in the Dining Room and a port talk on Isafjordur and Reykjavik. It was then time to grab a quick lunch in the Lido before heading down for our Fjords and Flowers t http://www.travelblog.org/Europe/Iceland/Northwest/Isafjordur/blog-424321.html Avui s dijous dia 7 d'agost i s el sis dia de viatge. Aquests dos ltims dies hem estat a la zona est de l'illa. A partir de dema ens dirigirem cap a la zona nord la qual a priori sembla ser una de les zones ms interessants de l'illa. El paissatge continua essent espectacular i el temps sembla que millora poc a poc tot i que les temperatures continuen sent ms baixes del previst. http://www.travelblog.org/Europe/Iceland/Northwest/Isafjordur/blog-309503.html Ker sva imeli v Husaviku ravno zastonj net sva seveda izkoristili se zastonj klicarjenje in se pozanimali vse o trajektu in busih za Westmanski otok pa se en guesthouse tam sva si rezervirali. Dobili sva zadnji dve lezisci baje kajti potem bo vse vse polno zaradi nekega festivala.

It was a bit of a drunken mistake applying for the job in the first place. Well I say that but I cant actually remember. Maybe it was a very carefully considered decision I made. Id seen an Icelandic band play in a pub on the Saturday night and had gone home and checked them out online. From their site I found another and then another and http://www.travelblog.org/Europe/Iceland/Northwest/Isafjordur/blog-247578.html
