We started our adventures in Iceland with the popular Golden Circle route. This is the main route that most people take when coming to Iceland so we thought it would be a good place to start and a taster of things to come. Driving from Reykavik, we saw heaps of modified Nissan Patrols with monster truck tyres - made our little Kia Picanto feel a little bit inadequate. Leaving our guesthouse, we travelled east and it wasn't long before we stopped on the side of t...

Surprisingly we managed to fit everything in our bags ready for the flight to Iceland! Thank goodness we paid for Tim to upgrade from carry on baggage to check in baggage so he could bring some stuff back to England for us! We then felt like real backpackers, lugging all our stuff by foot to the Utrecht train station and then on the train to Schiphol airport - no luxury of a car this time! We arrived at the airport with plenty of time to spare and lucky we did ...

The sky was a bit grey and it looked like it could rain any minute but it held off again for us today! We caught the train from Utrecht to Rotterdam this morning. We were planning on travelling around Rotterdam like locals today. However bike hire was a bit pricey at €10 pp so we used the walking option instead! We started off at the Luchtsingel pedestrian bridge - the world's first crowd funded infrastructure project - a yellow 400 m long pedestrian bridge...

This morning we drove Tim to the airport as he was flying from Amsterdam to Manchester, ready to start his 6 month cricket season there. After we said our farewells it was then time to say farewell to our Peugeot that has been with us for 2.5 months. The car drop off place was about 15 mins from the airport although we made a wrong turn which added on another 10 minutes at least. When we got the car the petrol gauge was pretty much on empty so we wanted to return...

Being a Monday, we decided it was time to go to work while Tim headed off to explore Amsterdam on his own. Our job today was to give our car a little bit of love after taking us around Europe for two and half months! Eva had called up a tyre place in the morning and found a place where we could get our winter tyres off and our summer tyres back on. It was in Utrecht so not too far from where we were staying. We were hoping they would also buy the winter tyres off...
