Off to Iceland

On our way...
Fagradalsfjall Volcano
2022年8月6日, アイスランド ⋅ ☁️ 9 °C
Our friends Hersir and Carola took us to see the currently erupting volcano. After a 2 hour hike it was all worth it. We sat, eating a cheese and ham sandwich, watching geology unfold infront of us.もっと詳しく
Reykjavík
2022年8月7日, アイスランド ⋅ 🌧 11 °C
Overcast in Reykjavík today, so after an explore to see the cathedral, we went for a soak in a geothermal swimming pool (with wave machine and slide), had ice cream shakes Iceland style, and someもっと詳しく
Northern Lights
2022年8月8日, アイスランド ⋅ 🌧 12 °C
Our final day in Reykjavik so we made the most of it. First up, a trip to Perlan where we explored an ice cave and saw the Northern Lights. No, really! Then after a hearty lamb soup for lunch weもっと詳しく
Golden Circle
2022年8月9日, アイスランド ⋅ 🌧 11 °C
Golden Circle today. First Thingvellir National Park (spelt in Icelandic with a special 'p'), where the earth has been torn in two - so we walked down the middle. Then Geysir. Wait for it. Wait. Wait.もっと詳しく

Volcano, waterfall and the black beach
2022年8月10日, アイスランド ⋅ ☁️ 10 °C
Having seen a live volcano, we went today to see a daad one. After walking the Kerid crater, onwards for a coffee at the brilliant Dome Cafe, and then we walked behind the Seljalandsfoss waterfall.もっと詳しく
Snow fight
2022年8月10日, アイスランド ⋅ ☁️ 4 °C
Snowmobiling today on Langjokull glacier. After putting on snow suits and helmets we drove in a converted bus up to the glacier. We got a quick lesson in driving the snowmobile (lean in to theもっと詳しく
Frost and Fire
2022年8月10日, アイスランド ⋅ ⛅ 10 °C
We were sorry to leave the Frost and Fire Hotel. A hot tub by the river? What's not to like...
Skaftafell
2022年8月12日, アイスランド ⋅ ☀️ 8 °C
Busy day today. Off early for a glacier hike, complete with crampons and ice pick. Then a more sedate boat tour on a glacial lagoon. We made our contribution to glacial erosion by eating some ice.
Diamond beer
2022年8月12日, アイスランド ⋅ ☀️ 10 °C
This afternoon we went to another glacial lagoon and to diamond beach (where the icebergs go to die) and then an evening stroll to the glacier behind the hotel. Glorious sunshine this afternoon.もっと詳しく
Sunshine on Kirkjubæjarklaustur
2022年8月12日, アイスランド ⋅ ☁️ 8 °C
Taking advantage of a rare appearance by the sun, Kevin and I went for a lovely evening walk to the glacier. Nice to get away from the crowds.
Skaftafell
2022年8月12日, アイスランド ⋅ ☁️ 10 °C
Another hotel another wonderful setting. Very comfortable - but poor choice of carpet and pelmets on the curtains…. 😅It’s all about the detail!
Breiodalsvik
2022年8月13日, アイスランド ⋅ ☁️ 9 °C
We're now in East Iceland. Some very impressive scenery as we drove, including majestic fjords. We saw a turf rooved church at Hof, an amazing view of the ocean at Hofn (one letter makes a bigもっと詳しく
Beer
2022年8月13日, アイスランド ⋅ ☁️ 9 °C
A week on Iceland and have finally found beer nirvana. And a brilliant hotel. And a car museum. We like Breiodalsvik.
Qashqai
2022年8月13日, アイスランド ⋅ ⛅ 13 °C
One small issue with our hire car. When the satnav says turn left sometimes it means turn right. But not all of the time.
Cars
2022年8月14日, アイスランド ⋅ 🌧 9 °C
After me beating James at chess (actually rather more the other way around!), we went to the Factory Car Museum to see one of only two cars manufactured in Iceland and then James had a bounce on aもっと詳しく
Nature Baths
2022年8月14日, アイスランド ⋅ 🌧 8 °C
As it turns out, bubbling pools of sulphur are really, really smelly. So much so, that you feel the urge to bathe in the stuff. Very surreal to see people outside bathing in hot milky water. Felt lessもっと詳しく
See that poxy waterfall - now take this
2022年8月15日, アイスランド ⋅ ☁️ 8 °C
A circular tour today. First up Husavik, where we went to the impressive whale museum. Whales are big. And, according to the video narrated by (who else?) David Attenborough, they are also clever. Weもっと詳しく
Dettifos
2022年8月15日, アイスランド ⋅ ☁️ 6 °C
So many wonderful waterfalls here. This one was particularly powerful. And wetting.
Whales
2022年8月16日, アイスランド ⋅ ☀️ 12 °C
We checked out Akureyi today - Iceland's second city, avoiding the toll tunnel by taking a 15 minute scenic mountain drive. Whale watching was great as the sun was out as were a couple of humpback.もっと詳しく
Small beds

Some of the hotels in Iceland leave a bit to be desired...!
The hotel at the end of the world
2022年8月17日, アイスランド ⋅ ☁️ 13 °C
About 2 km down a tiny gravel drive, we checked into the four bedroom guesthouse Kolkuos with stunning views. And discovered a new drink. Malty but sweet - it's apparently an Iceland classic.
Rafting
2022年8月18日, アイスランド ⋅ ⛅ 10 °C
White water rafting from Bakkaflot down the West Glacial Canyon. Amazing. Hot chocolate from a hot spring. Why take a kettle? My swimming needs a little work though.
