Dear All Greetings once more, on this my final entry for my amazing trip this summer. I write this one on my fantastic final few days on this summer adventure exploring Viking lands, and they turned out to be a wonderful wrap up to this journey. I was tired and ready to go home, but still had just that little bit of travel energy within me to explore and enjoy my final few sights. On a cool, ... read more

An obvious stop for us if we go to Iceland
Hopefully we will find time to go to Iceland this year. If we do Leifur Eiriksson Statue is an obvious stop for us. So is Blue Lagoon. If the volcano is still erupting we might go there. Good that you mentioned the long hike to get there. We have to take that into account before heading off there. /Ake

Iceland
Great, I do hope you get to find the time to go to this amazing country, it really is something else. I like the Viking connection to North America with Leifur Eriksson, and I think the Blue Lagoon is a real must. I'm sure the erupting volcano will be a once-in-a-lifetime experience for you if you're able to make it there - the people I spoke with said it was certainly this for them, but it would be wise indeed to know the route you'd hike to get there and back.
