GODAFOSS


I didn't manage that well with the iso and stuff but the place is beautiful in itself so anyway this view is awesome
so I was there - my new hiking boots worked well -tack Timbaland or whatever it's called
 I so badly want to jump in!
the other side of the water fall
jodå, this is where i sat in the back seat
groovy
no comment
thought these sweet guys were everywhere on Iceland
and what a success he found the sun
and off we go again to the next place where the sun is!

AKUREYRI


Ah, will draw a map on the travel tour later...
We reach Akureyri which is on the top. 
Necessary information is that the weekend which I PICKED to go to Iceland was THE weekend to go. It was a sort of travel weekend for all Icelanders since they have the Monday off. So had Begga the whole weekend free of studies. 
I didn't know about this, but again we see proof of our mind-blowing minds, I mean probably connected with Begga in my mind here in Suecia.

The church of Akureyri - some contest running up the hill going on there
Lots of people in Akureyri!
And off we go again!
Next stop: 
Godafoss

PHoTo SESSION WITH A PROFESSIONAL PHOTOGRAPHER

At Hvitserkur.
That is Henný working with the camera to get the best picture with the right settings.
and this was the objective of our walking the coast
what a lovely way to work
Begga in the horizon looking for dolphins
my god it is beautiful


along the coast we found a HUGE jelly fish (sv. manet)


a  path of red stones going up the mountain
we go on and reach the camping at 3 am
the sky is the limit
put up the tents with no hesitation

pretend i am a professional camper and know how to hook the tent on the heels

I have to go camping more often (why didn't i do it more?)

HAD TO STOP - GROBROK

The post didn't allow more pictures so I continue posting by dividing it up.
what is this little town+
Running up that hill
View from the hill
get high on stones cos there are lots of them in Iceland
on my way back
there are more living creatures here than me obviously:
looking death in the eye
and we hit the road

LOST IN ICELAND

Day 1 and day 2 in Bifröst, northeast of Reykjavik.
When I came to Reykjavik, the ride was waiting for me and took me directly through an amazing landscape til I reached Bifröst, surrounded by lava.
Lava lava lava 'em..
Lava of Bifröst


Surrounding of Bifröst

More Bifröst lava just outside student campus.
Short hiking to the hills of Grábrók on the backside of campus.
Should I continue or go back?
Lunch stop with dried fish will give me energy to continue
 So, let's go!
Sweet, I found wild blueberries on my way...
Luring flowers blowing in the wind next to the path.
Wild flowers?
Trucks are big this year
one of several stones on the way
unfortuntely don't have time to climb everywhere
I don't get enough of this landscape
my eyes were so thirsty for this beauty
