A few firsts today... using Yaktrax to walk on the ice, driving on ice, and visiting geothermal baths. Another exciting day in Iceland! We awoke to snow again, with the roads fairly well covered, although the sun soon appeared. It's been a gorgeous day despite the temperature being well below freezing. John was pleased to...

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 →
We've been to the most awesome place today, Jökulsárlón glacial lagoon. I didn't know how beautiful icebergs were, or that they came in so many colours and textures. We took dozens of photographs... I could do my whole photography course on this one amazing place! After finally having a good night's sleep, I got up... Continue Reading →
We haven't travelled far from the cabin today... We haven't needed to... There are lots of natural wonders on our doorstep. In fact there seem to be some every way we turn in Iceland! We had another early start. I can't blame feeling poorly any more so it must just be insomnia or excitement about... 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 →
Today's trip was John's choice. That's why I spent part of the day scared! That said, it was an awesome trip... the monster minibus was fun, the ice cave was stunning and, looking back on it, the snowmobile was a fantastic experience. I was pleased to get back alive though 😉 After another awful night's... 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 →
