For our last day in Iceland, we enjoyed with grace the beautiful things that nature has offered us. Our footsteps first led us to Kerid, an ancient, effusive volcano that collapsed on itself, before being artistically filled with water by the water table. This gives us, in common language, a …
A 6h30 drive separated us from our last stop, to the south, and the Golden Circle. Here we are. We even managed to visit the Althing at the end of the day, in the Thingvellir National Park. We found the sun with this return to the south, at least a …
Road #1 is still closed (at least for cars, it seems that pedestrians can pass), we turn back on our way back to the north. I am also happy that we are leaving the north tomorrow, as snow above 200 meters is announced for Wednesday, which is another opportunity to …
We went a long way to explore the fjords. First, the Borgarfjordur is the other name of the end of the world. After walking along the lake (which I can not find the name on the guide or Google Maps) to the north, we took mountain roads to go along …
Iceland is nature in its purest form. Sometimes, with Chinese buses disembarking just when you are about to take a picture of all this unspoiled nature. Nature does what she wants, if she can “want” something. And in this case, it decided that it was going to rain, that the …
Akureyri, at the bottom of Eyja Fjord. 2nd city of the country, 18 000 inhabitants. In the plains bordering the fjord, the farms follow one another, surrounded by their fields, by their fleets of woolly sheeps. You have to have a lot of courage to be a sheep in Iceland, …
We leave the west of Iceland to venture north. On a map of Iceland, in the middle of the north coast, is Akureyri, the second city of Iceland (and think about that knowing that Reykjavik is home to two-thirds of the population of the island). Although the road is beautiful, …
We left in the morning with the rain and we came back at night with the rain, although we encountered some thunderstorms during our tour of the Snaefellsnes peninsula. The rain is rather an invigorating drizzle, the temperature is not excessively low; what is the most to fear, it is …
“In Iceland, if weather does not suit you, wait 5 minutes.” The proverb (quoted approximatively) was verified almost fifteen times during the day. Beautiful thinnings follow a fine rain, the clouds suddenly giving way to rainbows. I flatter myself to see two in the year in France. Here, we saw …
Another day where time become elastic between two airports, fills your eyes and your head. We got up at four in the morning (did I already tell you about the concept of “holidays” of my husband?), to take the plane and fly over a sea of clouds during the three …
