  • Iceland, the land of ice and fire – day 6

    Iceland, the land of ice and fire – day 6

    OMGeee…it’s been such a long time. I’ve been thinking about closing this space more than once, throughout these past few months. I’ve been on summer break for a week now, and for the first few days it took me a while to completely turn my mind off. It was an intense year. You see, when…

    Iceland, the land of ice and fire – day 5

    How I missed this. On our 5th day in Iceland we woke up feeling very relaxed after having spent more than two hours floating in sulfur rich waters. The plan was to drive to Goðafoss waterfall and visit Akureyri a beautiful and small fishing city, full of colour out on the streets and trolls. Yes, trolls.…

    Iceland, the land of ice and fire – day 4.

It was the peak of summer when we were there, so obviously there wasn’t as much snow as usual, but it was still freaking amazing! It’s quite…

    Iceland, the land of ice and fire – day 3, part 1.

    Skógafoss was right next to our hotel, and we had only seen it from the ground, so we went back and climbed up to the top in order to get the full experience of one of the biggest waterfalls in Iceland. It’s 15m wide and has a 60m drop, and it used to fall to…

    Iceland, the land of ice and fire – day 2.

    We got up pretty early to enjoy the warm pool of the hotel. It’s nice to stay in a nice warm bath while it’s freezing outside (okay, it wasn’t freezing, but it was pretty cold, around 9ish ºC). We didn’t have much time, because we wanted to make our 6 day road trip worthwhile,  so…
