16.08.08 Akureyri – Reykjahlíð – Mývatn
by Garik and Lena
- This morning when we woke up, it was extremely cold! At 5:20 AM I woke up suddenly and yelled at Lena, “It’s 6:20 AM now!!!” And when she woke up and looked at the time, she told me “Are you nuts? It’s 5:20 AM now”… I don’t know why it happened, all I know is that I was half a sleep, so I had no problem to fall a sleep again… Sorry Lena! Read the rest of the entry »

14.08.08 Isafjordur – Akureyri
by Garik and Lena
- We woke up with heavy rain pouring on us. Our clothes that were hanging outside the tent to dry, didn’t make it. The tent was wet even from inside, the bottom of the tent was wet too. As we woke up, early in the morning, we started to pack our stuff without having a breakfast. One of the tent poles was broken, that’s not a good news. After hour and a half, we were packed, wearing all the clothes we had because it was so cold! It’s quite amazing that till now, except from Reykjavik, we had good weather all the time. So we had some spare time to eat some breakfast, waiting to a bus that should arrive and take us to the airport. Suddenly a minibus arrives, and we didn’t know that this is our bus. The minibus stood in the parking for a while, waiting for a group of tourists to put their bags inside, so Lena ask some woman from the group whether this is the bus to the airport, and she answered positively. It cost 500 ISK per person for a 5 minutes drive to the airport! Now this is a robbery! Read the rest of the entry »

08.08.08 Reykjavik – Arnarstapi – Hellissandur
by Garik and Lena
- The rain didn’t stop this night. Lena waked me up at 0600 AM after she took a long hot shower earlier. We decided to pack out stuff and eat our breakfast on the bus to Olafsvik. Because of the rain it took us more then an hour to pack our stuff. We were afraid we’ll miss the bus from BSI station at 09:00 but we managed to catch the local bus #14 from the camp site to BSI station at 08:00! When we came to the bus station near the camp site we were the only people there, while I’m holding exact amount of money, 560 Kr. Then few couples have arrived and just before the bus came a bunch of young French students came, with huge backpacks and sacks in their hands, making it almost impossible to stand in the bus.
