Sandwich Day
… and I don’t mean the nice ham and cheese one I had for lunch! 🙂 I asked for a less dramatic day today and got it. We started with a relatively short drive through a completely empty black sand … Continue reading
Other People!
We continued our move south-east on Friday, moving from the highlands down to the coastal strip, and round Iceland’s largest glacier, Vatnajokull. We spent the morning at Landmannalaugar, which is a popular destination for all tours, so there were lots … Continue reading
