We had a boring 8 hour drive ahead of us today, moving to our next Airbnb in the North of Iceland... or so I thought! It turned out that even a long drive in Iceland is exciting, with new, stunning views at every turn. Once again, we've filled our cameras! After eating breakfast, packing up... Continue Reading →
What a day. I've taken dozens of photos and I'm going to have trouble choosing 8 for my project for my photography course! Iceland is so photogenic 😊 I woke really early again, with my brain buzzing about our plans for the day ahead, moving to our next Airbnb and visiting various places along the... Continue Reading →
We had an easy day today. Well... I say 'easy', but we've walked 10k! But at least nothing scared me today or was strenuous, and I'm not feeling poorly any more, although my nose is still streaming. With my red nose from blowing it, and sore eyes and skin from the relentless wind, I'm not... Continue Reading →
It's been so windy today, we could hardly stand up at times. John's comment was... 'I couldn't live here!' The Beast from the East was a definitely a little fluffy pussy cat in comparison to the wind here today. That said, at least it didn't rain, although we had a few snow flurries. We got...

It's been a long day with some ups and downs, but we're now settled in our Airbnb in Iceland. After a disturbed night's sleep, I woke at 6.00, then realised it was really 5.00 because the clocks had gone forward... ugh! I was hot all night because we forgot to turn the air conditioning down,... Continue Reading →
Will this all fit in 2 hold bags and 2 cabin bags? Ice axes, crampons, helmets, hiking boots, camera, lenses, 2 tripods, waterproofs, down jackets, fleeces, clothes, wash kit, iPad, chargers... the list seems endless! And the answer is... No! We decided to pay for an additional hold bag, which has made things much easier.... Continue Reading →
We've had an eventful weekend. Warren and Steph, who we haven't see for a while, came to stay with their little girl, Daisy. It must have been a while because last time we saw Daisy she was a small cute 3-year old, climbing her first mountain, and now she's a tall, pretty 6-year old who... Continue Reading →
The drive up to Wissant near Calais was uneventful. Last time we stayed at the camper van aire in Wissant it was every busy and we just managed to squeeze in. It was busy this time too but, thankfully, we got the last proper space. We then wandered into the town for lunch. It was... Continue Reading →
We were woken early by the alarm, pulled our clothes on, put the bed away, and left the aire to travel the 20 minutes to the Eurotunnel terminal. We checked in, collected a coffee and some breakfast and, when our time came, joined the queue to get on the train. After about 30 minutes, we... Continue Reading →
Our holiday is coming to an end and on Thursday we had a lazy day, while we planned how to spend our last few days. We spent some time sitting in the sunshine, before we went into the village for lunch... lovely galettes, then a crepe for John and an ice cream for me, washed... Continue Reading →
