Dream come true and I got to do it with my best friend, Axel. We arrived at the National park where Silfra is. Here is where we took a bit of time to look around at the landscape. It’s quite amazing to see and a must for those going to Iceland.. Silfra is a fissure created by the separation of the North American and Eurasian tectonic plates cutting through Iceland. The Silfra fissure fills with glacial water that has been filtered underground for decades through hardened, porous lava rock. The filtering process of the glacial water makes Silfra one of the clearest bodies of water on earth with up to 120 meters of visibility. Once we arrived at Silfra, we found our dive meeting place and were intruded what to do next. Then our guide, Thomas ... read more

Woke to light coming into the small areas of the curtains that weren’t closed and faint sounds of voices. I peaked out the window and said “what time is it?” Axel replied “4am” “What!! I have to pee! Rubbing my eyes I gracefully I turned myself around in our spacious and luxurious RV .......ok I lie I turned myself around like a bull in a china shop, hitting my head off the top of the van and flung open the van side door. “It’s a beautiful day and it’s only 4am” I said.

Ok we miss him a little already! The ... read more

Well our flight doesn't leave until 9 PM however my body and mind said to get up and start getting ready at 5am. I fought it for another hour tossing and turning and getting more and more excited then got up at 6:10 am. Its a raining day - a good day for leaving our boat behind. Coffee made, last of the laundry folded and it seems like I have more to do but nothing I can do before the stores open! At the top of my list CATALINA dressing - Not Frenches but Catalina for my darling brother in Norway who can't get his hand on it there. :) I will also grab some brown sugar for Joan and that should be all. Today we will leave the house early to stop by and give ... read more
