Iceland, the land of ice and fire – day 3, part 2
After the Fjadrargljufur canyon, I wanted to stop by the place where it was filmed the Game of Thrones bit for The Wall, so we wondered after Vatnajokull, Europe’s largest glacier.

On our ninth day in Kyoto we met with our good friend Atsuko, who invited us on a drive around the mountains. That was an experience in itself. To be able to see how the traffic works around Japan first hand was incredible and to be able to see places that we would otherwise never…
