Well have I got a story for you, but we will get to that later. Our day began with the obligatory breakfast. Jo & Shari had decided to go for a swim in one of the many geothermal pools in Reykjavik so Jac & I loaded up the car to do some more exploring. Beginning the day we headed to the town pond to feed the ducks, geese & swans. The pond freezes in winter but they pump hot water in one corner to keep a spot for the birds. Great idea. We went for a d...

Time to click over more K's today as we headed along the south coast after a latish start. It was another rainy day so what better way than to spend it in the car. We headed off down route number 1 & after 45 mins had passed through Selfoss. Now we were in to new territory for us.

Our problem had become apparent yesterday when we tried to use the wipers. It just smudged the windscreen which resulted in about 2% visibility. Not something you want, especially in a place like Iceland. Coming over the mountains yesterday made for some pretty scary situations. So back at the car hire mob t...

Yesterday we left Jo & Sharifs place early for more adventures. Arriving at Luton the four of us boarded the plane for a nice leisurely flight over to the wilds of Iceland. We landed and after a few troubles with our hire car made our way into Reykjavik and checked in to our hotel. The evening consisted of a nice feed of traditional Icelandic food, followed by a traditional downing of 1ltr of Jack Daniels. Feeling quite content we retired for the night knowin...
