To Reykjavik to Celebrate Iceland’s Independence Day!
Today started in Snaefellsnes with a lovely breakfast with a German couple and a woman from Switzerland and another from France...once again, wonderful conversations...then I headed out expecting to do some more hiking but the weather had other plans...If I wasn't heading to Greenland to hike, I would have toughed it out and hiked in … Continue reading To Reykjavik to Celebrate Iceland’s Independence Day!
Snaefellsnes
Today started with a lively breakfast at the Guest House in Stykkishomur. We were a family from Ireland, a couple from Toronto, a couple from Spain and me.

The East FJords of Iceland
Last night I enjoyed a sweet and light Icelandic dinner of Potato and Rosemary soup with a starter course of Lamb carpaccio...I did not enjoy the lamb but ate it all as a good guest would...I can not say whether the issue was taste or the fact I spent the day watching all those cute … Continue reading The East FJords of Iceland
