Dettifoss, Selfoss - There's the place the waterfalls are produced.

Góðan daginn,

I guess now we know where all the waterfalls come from... Of course from the top of Iceland. 

Yes it is very icy and frosty and snowy and really ice princess like there. On our way to the west we had to leave the coast and drive through the mountains. It was very icy on top of the mountains, but still kinda warm in the sun. Just during the windy time we seriously froze our a** off!

Iceland - East coast for life!

Góðan daginn,

after having the ice-cube-James-Bond-experience we travelled northwards along the coast. Besides from today I have never seen so many different landscape profiles like yesterday in less than 12 hours.

In the morning the Glacier bay, then on our way to the north we had the following views... just check and be mesmerized :-)


That's why they call it ICEland - Jökulsárlón

Góðan daginn,

yesterday morning we wanted to go and check if there is actually some ice in good old iceland.... and yes, we found a lot of it. There is a glacier tongue which ends in a river, which of course leads to the ocean. And in the bay the tongue ends in the river there are a lot of f***ing huge ice cubes in the water.
I guess I found some ice.
The place is called Jökulsárlón.

Beach Boys - iceland style!

Góðan daginn,
on our way to the next stop (in the south-east of iceland; Jokulsarlon) we stopped at the coast and went to the beach, which was a gigantic black lava stone beach. Of course it was very rough, like a lot of stuff in iceland.


Over the rainbow - Skógafoss

Góðan daginn,

the last big stop yesterday was the waterfall "Skógafoss"(62m high). I was a little bit emerged, because we have seen already three waterfalls. But this one was really a good idea to visit. 


Waterfalls, Lavabombs, glacier tongues, icelandic horses and a truck!

Góðan daginn,

yesterday we had quiet a long tour planned. We travelled through the south of iceland. On our way we had a lot of huge events. THe first two were waterfalls (even the third, but the third was so super amazing, I have to separate this one).
The first stop was Urridafoss, a very nice waterfall, but after seeing Gullfoss the day before it was just quiet okay.

Þingvellir - Plain of moot - Midnight dreams!

Góðan daginn,

after a very long day (whale watching, going to the airport to get our luggage, the Gulfoss and Geysir) we wanted to check the place where even the vikings met twice a year for moot! The icelandic people came together there and discussed about their state, trade and all the other stuff they wanted to discuss hehe. 

And we know now why they chose this place. It was outstanding peaceful and beautiful!
