Iceland at Last!

by zweiblumen - last update: Oct 25, 2005

Twenty plus years in the planning

Skógafoss
Iceland was the first foreign country I wanted to visit, for a while it was the only country I was interested in. I would send off for travel brochures on Iceland look at the pictures and sigh ... there was no way on earth I could afford to go there or so I thought.
Last water stop before the desert

One Week in the doing

I saved and I saved and I saved and I chose the cheapest Iceland trip in my brochure and could only just afford it. It was a week's trekking in the highlands roughly following the Landmannalaugar - Þórsmörk route but with quite a few deviations making it a slightly lengthier trek.

and Many Miles of Walking

I don't think I have walked so far in my life, my blisters had got blisters and then there were blisters on top of them. Was it worth it though? .. Of course it was

 Wow...your pictures are stunning!! My husband and I are visiting in July! I would love to see the inside of an ice cave. I thought I read somewhere that they were too dangerous to enter in the summer. Are you just really adventurous? :-)

 Wonderful Iceland page. Not many people get to see the waterfalls behind Skogafoss (I didn't), so thanks for sharing that picture.

 Gosh, what an exciting trek you did !!! Iceland is on my wishlist, too, since ages, but it must be quite expensive. The island must be a place out of this world, with all the geologic and nature wonders ! Thanks for your page !! :-))
