Iceland Tour

  • On Snaefellsnes Glacier
    Our last two weeks we rented a car and drove around the entire country. We lucked out and had sunny weather most always and the scenery was spell-binding. You really don't see much of Iceland without a vehicle to tour in. Public transporation only runs in the summer and even then to limited locales. I've heard of folks touring on bikes, but we didn't see anyone and you'd have to be real strong and quite lucky not to get blown away...the wind rolled moving cars off the road while we were here. Of course, Icelanders traveled by horse for over a thousand years and there are "horse roads" right beside the paved roads most places where people still ride today.

Thorsmork, Iceland

  • I'm just trying to keep it in.
    Karen and I spent our first two weeks in Iceland volunteering at Husadalur camp in a national park called Thorsmork. The area is wedged between two glaciers, Eyjafjallajokull and Myrdalsjokull and is one of the most dramatically beautiful places in Iceland. It's impossible to get to without a serious high clearance 4-wheel drive and but the bus company, Reykjavik Excursions has specially designed monster buses to handle the many river crossings and bumpy ride through the riverbed which is the "road". While at Thorsmork we worked with 15 other delightful volunteers from ten countries. We played a lot of goofy games, worked hard, ate alot of good food and sloshed through the wet and windy weather which didn't let up for two weeks.
