Bragis place

by dassi - last update: Sep 11, 2006

Traveling in Spain.

I was in Spain last fall and stayed for a while with friends in Madrid. I did like Madrid and I just love the spanish, they are so nice and there hospitality is out of this world. When I was in Bilbao I called my friend in Madrid and asked her if I could come and stay for a few days. She had before said that I was always welcome to her home. She is a mother of a girl who used to live for some time in Iceland and became a very good friend of mine. And one evening we went to this great restaurant doing traditional food from Marocco. It was so good. I will put in the name of it later.

Back in Iceland for a while.

Yes I am back in Iceland.I have done some traveling wich I will write someting about in the near future. Now I am working at a hotel out in the country side in the west part of Iceland.Will put some photos from the place and of the pepole working with me
I worked with them summer 2004

My working place summer 2004.

Yes this is it. Hotel Edda Laugum Saelingsdal.
I started on 5th. of June and will finish at the end of August. It is a good place to work at, only a summer hotel but t that is ok.
We do have a swimining pool and 40? c hot tub wich i try to use at least 4 times a week. This hotel is in the west part of Iceland only about 175 km away from Reykjavik

Still in Iceland but leaving soon

I am now starting to count the days till my travel starts. I will leave Iceland on the 18 th of november 2003 and fly to London. The 22 nd. of november I will fly to Tours in France where I will stay 1 or 2 days and then start hitchiking to Portugal .
My reason for doing that is that I started many years ago on a hitchike tour from Denmark to Portugal but never got further than to Bordeaux in France so I have to finish it now. On the way I hope to stop at least 1 or 2 days in Bilbao where i would like to see the Guggenheim museum. Any other stops I just take as they come. After getting to Potugal I will head straight
back to Madrid in Spain where I got some friends who live there. After that no special plan but I am sure i will think of something. Been thinking about Marocco but just have to see when I get to Madrid. So for now I will stop and come back later with some more stories and hopefully then from the road. All the best for now
Regards from Iceland
