We walked to the airport from Sasi’s flat to catch an flight to our next destination. Reykjavik airport is mainly for internal flights and we were off on a short jolly to the Westman Islands. Never been on a little plane before and not afraid to say I was really terrified. Nothing to fear though, the flight all 25 minutes of it was dramatic scenery wise but nothing more than that. We arrived to our first snow and the first snow on the islands off the south west of Iceland for 4 years. The island has only been the size it is currently since the 1970’s when a massive volcano doubled the size of it’s landmass. It is a town on a rock. We were disappointed at first and thought we’d made the wrong decision. It ... read more

First road trip day. We drove an incredibly long way through even more dramatic scenery. Today really felt like the reason I came here. I never actually thought I ever end up in Iceland, that it would be to far out of my reach to actually experience. So far we had seen some breathtaking things but today really felt like a science fiction film. The trip to the western reaches of Iceland and towns like Stykkisholmur and Olafsvik was unlike any other. The boiling pots of mud and black volcanic landscape really made every Kilometre fascinating. Highlights include a trip to a lighthouse, sitting on a black beach and a good fish dinner. Really wonderful place ... read more

The Golden Circle The weekenders favourite tour. Three big sites not to far from the Reykjavik area and about a six hour round trip was how we spent the next day. We rented a car and set off pretty early. Driving was fantastic, the scenery was breathtaking. We were in serious danger of not arriving anywhere due to a fantastic number of stop offs to get out of the car and take it all in. The big three were great. I’m very use to city breaks and spending time on beaches so it was a real experience to see more natural wonders. The first was probably the most interesting, Þingvellir. The historic site of the world’s first ever parliament and a real treat for the geology geek in me because it is where the America and ... read more

We arrived at the central bus station and after quick phone call to a very hangover local and a short walk we landed at Sasi’s front door in district 101. Time for a quick catch up and coffee we set off for a day in Reykjavik. It’s a great city to be in; a real treat to be in a capital so different from London. There are no massive buildings or sprawling boulevards but a lovely fishing village like feel. The buildings are brightly coloured there are great places to eat, drink and relax. The weather was kind, lovely blue skies and not too cold a breeze. A good day was had taking in the quiet feel and un-hectic life of Iceland. It’s fantastic to be by a undeveloped unspoilt landscape, the sea and immense surroundings. ... read more

Yesturday was amazing First off we all met down at the downtown branch, about 35 of us and jumped in 9 seater buses to go to some boxing place to play some games. We played tug o war and our team won, and then we played that sack race game where you jump in sacks but there was 4 in a sack instead which was interesting and then some other game where in pairs you had to pop the balloons as quick as possible in pairs by using no hands. We all then went to the boat to go fishing and it was really rocky, felt really sick and there was loads of free beer i couldnt drink. Brian caught 15 fish! yes 15 in an hour but its wasnt really a competition you just hung ... read more

In disbelief is where you can find me... A lonely land it is. I know everyone is well. Summer is all but done. As is my time. I had a great last day in London. Bertie and i rolled around Camden, Soho, Covent and the usual sights and then his brother came down from up north and we smashed a great dinner and an AMAZING desert prepared by their mom. It was really nice to have a home cooked meal with a family. In NE Turkey was the last time i had that. With Volkan´s family. I hope they are doing well. I flew out that morning and got in here to Iceland. It was pissing down and i couldn´t be bothered with hitching or the cost of public transportation along with the lack of freedom ... read more
