Next stop Iceland. That's the Wild Atlantic Way done. Thank yo Ireland. It has been an incredible adventure. Now it is time to move further north west to the very edges of the European continent. It's time to experience Iceland. A land of fire and ice - maybe a little like something you might see in Game of Thrones. Hopefully there won't be any white walkers or members of Lannister family hanging out up there. Jokes aside, we have heard a lot about this amazing little island. The stories speak of a stunning and unspoiled landscape - nature at its most extreme and pure in its form. And of a people who are warm and welcoming to all. We cannot wait to get there. Our adventure will begin in Rejkjavik - the capital city on the ... read more

However, yes, we are still talking about that eruption in 2010. So many people got stuck in Europe because of that and some even got to know each other because of that. I’ll tell you a story. A young woman lives in Canada and a young man in England. They need to be in contact because of their work, send e-mails, talk on the phone, but have never met even if they have worked together like that for some time. She went on a holiday to Asia and at the same time he went to Canada, holiday or not, doesn’t matter. The ... read more
