Iceland August 2010 - Day 5: Peninsula Skagi

Today we came along on direction Saudakrokur. The weather had made amends and on the coast blue sky and sunshine welcomed us. From Varmahlid it passed on the street No. 75 up the turf museum of Glaumbaer where we inserted the first short stop. Tha place with the turf huts, a recollection of the former way of the Icelandic dwellings, we could recommend very much. Then further we went in the nice small town  Saudakrokur. Here we inserted a stop in the blue house Olafshous that we  recommended very much. The prices are ok, supercomfortable equipment and nice sphere. No matter whether soup, salad buffet, burger, pizza or fish, for every taste and purse you find something
After this we drive in good mood along the  Skagafjördur. After we changed No. 745 on the street, a very long distance on a partial nevertheless very violent grit runway approached us. Here good driving talent is asked! Partially I have got not too a lot from the surroundings, because I was occupied to make way to the bad blow holes. A cross-country vehicle is an advantage here, but we have managed  it also with our Hyundai. However, it would be warned against adapting the speed to the blow holes.
Indeed, the wonderful look at the deep blue sea and the small rock island Drangey as well as trusting and cuddly horses and precipitous cliffs with black beach provided for a breathtaking picture. We made a lot of pictures and  stood often astonished and inspiring in the street edge. Only now and then some farms appear on this distance and I give the advice to make this distance in very good weather, because the view of the sea was the highlight.
Then in Skagaströnd we filled up our car again, before we bent inwards No. 744 direction Saudakrokur still before Blönduos again on the street.
Then at 22 o’clock in the evening we arrived our  summer cottage and allowed ourselves still tasty food. And then we saw something that the absolute highlight of the whole Iceland vacation explained: Polar lights.
I was on the way in the Hot Pot and wondering what this strange green lights in the sky are. And, finally, we all stood on the terrace and looked being astonished, fascinates and reverentially in the green shining sky. Nearly half an hour we were presented with very clear polar lights. And also after one hour one could see weak lights over and over again. I admit, I have never seen such a nice thing  and to admire this spectacle of nature at starry night and full moon in a warm Hotpot in complete silence is not almost to be topped. This was amazing.

Iceland August 2010 - Day 4: Myvatn

Although it was raining we decided to move to Myvatn after a good breakfeast this morning. Past Akureyri we drive to the Öxnadalsheidi passport up and reached, finally, the first runners of the nice, from old lava surrounded lake. First we made an excursion in the small and nice Birdmuseum that lies a little bit hidden on the left side of the lake  (street 848). Here you can admire a collection of the stuffed birds who are all to be found in Iceland (home and birds of passage). In English, German and French you can find infos to the board and if one presses the respective bird, a light blinks in the glass cabinet, so that one always exactly knows which bird is meant. The staff, a young Icelander, was very engaged and friendly and explained everything to us and gave us further information. Customer service is very important at this nice and little bird museum and you should take one hour for this nice place.
Then we went in spite of rain in a good mood further to Dimmuborgier, the sombre rocks. These cooled off lava formations are really impressive and are worth in nice weather anyway a wandering. However, there we had long-term rain, wind and 7 degrees, we decided on a short version and went on. In a nice pizza booth with very tasty pizza we strengthened ourselves and then went further to the Krafla.
Unfortunately, the way was not passable around the Krafla or was too slushy and dangerous. So also here the short version and again down to the Namafjall - yellow and knows gleaming sulphur area.
Here we were received like 2 years ago by a sulphur smell bad for me and while I kept closed the nose to me, Dieter was inspired by the bubbling and hissing solfatars and springs.
End of the day was a relaxing bath in the nice Myvatn bath. It’s like the small sister to the famous Blue lagoon near Keflavik.
Then at 22:30 o’clock we arrived again at Varmahlid and sank after a final relaxation bath in the Hot pot tiredly in the bed.
Today though the day had been spoilt by rain very much, nevertheless, has shown us that only the setting whole makes “unbearably” or “annoyingly”. Since we have seen a lot, had a lot of fun and mostly good mood. Quite faithful to the motto: There is no bad weather, only bad clothes and wrong setting.

Iceland August 2010 - Day 3: Varmahlid

The storm had increased steadily and over and over again showers were delivered. Because the last days were very stressful we decided to make a relaxing day. Only the small village Varmahlid we wanted to visit on this day.  Moreover, I and Steffen still went for a 6-km-long walk to the big horse cookers which we had discovered on a gigantic meadow before Varmahlid. At the beginning the horses were a litte bit mistrustful but after a brown mare with her foal started to come to us the others followed very fast. The brown mare liked to cuddle with us and her fool observed us with a curious and bright interes. There was a horse nanny also who paid attention to 4 foals.
And at the end the stallion of the cookers called in, a splendid black horse.
The meeting with these wonderful beings has pleased us again very much.
Otherwise we allowed ourselves on this day still a long stay in the HotPot and an amusing play evening.

Iceland August 2010 - Day 2: Husavik

Today we went to Husavik for whale watching with a sailing shipf of North Sailing. At first the mood was not so good in our group because we had not many sleep the night before and the weather wasn’t good, too. Tiredly we started for Husavik and to all evil the weather also did not join in. Rains and storm. Moreover, it was a little bit stressful because we arrived the parking lot only 10 minutes before boarding finished. So still fast tickets bought and up to the ship. Briefly after one had wrapped up us in warm overalls, we already were on the way.

I was a little bit nervous because the lady of the ticket center give me tablet against sea illness for all of us and I take one for secure. Well, as we drive from the harbour in the sea immediately the sea was very rough with high waves.
Thus, the first waves came and the poor man beside me has cogot from the 4-hour journey generally nothing more. He puke every ten minutes.
I have never experienced such waves and also not such a skew situation with a ship. Quite faithful to the film „The storm” with George Clooney we braced ourselves in these gigantic waves and bent not only once almost so strongly aside that I thought we tip over. But well, I imagined the Isis already know what they do and the Skipper was happy like anyhow.

And then after half an hour of gigantic waves he appeared. A minkewhale was there. We took up immediately the pursuit, still saw twice this whale before he moved away. The reason was obvious: 5 boats round us were sudden and everybody wanted to see the whale.

Then we drive to the little island near the coast where a lot of puffins - approx 8000 animals - nested.  We also saw immediately the sweet birds and for one moment I also forgot the swinging boat. Unfortunately the try to sail failed because of the rough sea and so we drove back to the harbour. After 4 hours on the rough sea I was glad to see the harbour again.

So small tip: At the middle / end of August in bad weather never book whale observation if one has a nervous stomach. It is not worthwhile really, the man beside me has got from this 4-hour journey generally nothing.
A visit in the whale museum rounded the day in Husavik and was  very nice and very informative. While I wrote these words  Dieter and Steffen discussed once more completely entrancedly this visit and the information which we have received there. Beside the history of whales, beaching  and whaling history the single best known whales with picture and many infos are also shown. A whole space is dedicated to the killer whales and also from Keiko, the whale from Free Willy, you finds very detailed infos. Nevertheless, whole skeletons of whales allow to become everybody very reverentially at the sight of this size. And, nevertheless, the pictures about the whaling and the tip to the environmental pollution have tuned me very furiously.
2 hours we stayed in this nice whale museum and a visit has really been worthwhile. You don’t should miss this visit, the whale museum is directly in the harbour.
Then at 17 o’clock we went about Akureyri back to Varmalid and allowed ourselves after tasty pizza still a being relaxing stay in the Hot pot.

Iceland August 2010 - Report Day 1: Arrival

In the morning we taken away after we had anything in the car and drive to Frankfurt.  Because we had booked Economy Comfort this flight, we used the Launge of the airport and of course we drank something. I choose a Prosecco of course
Faster then the other passanger we went into the airplane and were very amused about the comfort. Many space for all of us, a great service and lot’s of fun during the flight. So everybody of us enjoyed the flight in the first class very much and after a quiet flight we arrived Iceland at 3 p.m.
Weather: Fantastically. Felt 20 degrees and sunshine where the eye reaches. At the exit a very friendly Icelander from Procar waited and brought us to the office.
And there was very quickly clear: The car looked bigger on the Internet. Our luggage would never have purely fitted there. The nice Icelander also saw this probably and gave us the afterwards bigger class, without surcharge. We received a Hyundai I30 Combi version. Additionaly we get some insider tips of this friendly Icelander and a GPS free of charge. Wow, what service.

Laundry fetch in the motel next door at Viator was also no problem. While other waited certainly still for their rental car, we already went to Reykjavik. At first we bought food and other things for the house in the discounter Bonus. After this our car was really filled up.
The trip by the tunnel between Reykjavik and Akranes (Hvalfjördur) was adventurous. A tube which leads the cars in a strong gradient far under the sea. It seemed to be endless and I asked myself how wide we were now, actually, underground. Far and wide neither rescue bays nor state stripes by view.
I was glad to see the daylight again after 15 minutes.  But with this short journey we had saved 1 ½ hours, and because we still had a long distance before , this abbreviation belonged to a welcome matter.
Then the journey stretched longer from than expected. However, for the distance of 288 km we needed nearly 4 hours, twice short breaks  and then the fact that the streets in Iceland are not so good as in Germany. With maximum speed 90 km and occasionally more slowly you need your time for this distance.
At daylight we arrived without any problems our small and nice wooden summerhouse Varmi in Varmahlid. At the beginning it was a little bit tricky to know how to use the Hot Pot but the men get it after a half hour and so we had a relaxing bath in the Hot Pot.

Countdown for Iceland

Althoug we visited Iceland in March we travel again to this fantastic country. Beside the car we booked flight, summer house and hotel in Reykjavik and I would like to inform you a little bit about this trip.

When we’ll go away?

August, 19th till August, 27th

What we like to explore on this trip?

Because we had a summer cottage in the South in 2009 we would like to explore the North of Iceland, again in a summer cottage. The summer cottage is located next to Varmalid.

On our tour plan are the cities Akureyri and Husavik, the waterfalls Dettifoss and Godafoss, the lake Myvatn and we want to drive next to the fjords Skakafjördur and Eyjafjördur. And maybe we drive to the wonderful waterfall Dyjandi in the West of Iceland.

Which travel agency we have choosed?

We choosed not for any travel agency because it is main season in Iceland and the offers are all very expensive. So we decided to book all by ourself. Well, sure it was a little tricky to get 4 tickets on a flight with Icelandair. Because often there was no seats available or the seats were to expensive. But finally we have our tickets.

Flight: with Icelandair

Summer cottage: from Viator.is

Car: We’ll order this from Procar the next days

Hotel: Einholt Apartment in Reykjavik

Well, of course you need organisational talent to book a tour like this by yourself. But because I’m very good in this things, I’m sure that our trip well be successfull.

We have no internet connection in the summer cottage, so we’ll report about the days and show you a lot of pictures about our trip as soon as we’ll back.

Iceland - March 2010 - Part 3

On the last day we planned to explore the old town of Reykjavik. And there we see a lot, again, from the people to the nice, coloured houses which I love so much. We parked in the old harbour (very much to recommend) and ran in in the centre of the old town. First we made an excursion to the town lake Tjörnin. And here a huge noise already announced it: More than 300 song swans were in the small town lake and can be fed together with numerous mallards and greylag geese by the Icelanders. We were not astonished first of all badly, because so many water birds on a spot I had seen rare.
The ducks and greylag geese completely walked without shyness between the people and called her bread. A man fed a swan from the hand.
We just stood there for a while and observed many birds and the happy people who gave bread to the animals.
Then we walked further up to the known shopping mile Laugavegur and then bent from up to the church Hallgrimskirka. This impressive church contain a gigantic organ which I have liked especially well. Moreover, one can find out about the history of the church and drive the tower up with the lift against a small fee.
Again over a byroad down we returned to the shopping mile. Here we ate in a nice bar and discovered a really orginelles court (unfortunately, we have taken no photo). Soup in bread. Sounds first of all absolutely insignificant and that the Icelanders eat everywhere soup, was known to us already well. But here a loaf of bread was really served in very round form. If one took the lid, in the holed loaf of bread was the soup. First we thought that the bread will be soaked through but this doesn’t happen. At the next table they spooned with relish the soup, ate the bread bit by bit on the edge from without some soak of trough or flowed out. A very nice and astonishing invention.
After I had bought towards still the tasty yoghurt Skyr in the bonus, we went shopping. Final result was an Icelandic flag, two T-shirts, two soft toys (a puffin and a polar bear), two sweaters for Steffen of 66 North and for me also a sweater of 66 North.

Now a little bit created and tiredly from many running and many new impressions we went to the blue lagoon where we relaxed the complete afternoon in the 40 degrees of warm water.
In the evening then we went again back to Reykjavik and how is proper for a visit in Iceland, we wanted to eat for the end over again a Burger. These hamburgers are not to be compared to those of Mc Donalds or Burger King. They are prepared really freshly, the meat exists of freshly made mince and also in the size these Burger clearly differ from the burger we known.
Unfortunately, had not opened the small, nice burger hut in the harbour any more, but the Burger with another booth have well tasted, nevertheless.

Departure day:

At night at 3 o’clock there rang the alarm clock. At half past seven went our airplan and one needs from Keflavik in the centre of the capital a good hour journey. So we wanted to be on time there and tormented ourselves a little bit hit from the beds.
Then below in the adoption the nice Icelander explained to us that all flights of the Icelandair are cancelt. The reason: Volcano eruption. In the south of Iceland, in the glacier Eyjafjallajökul a volcano had broken out at night and the cinder cloud reached to 1 km in the sky. On account of that all flights were for safety reasons first of all gecancelt.
At 9 o’clock there was the next information.  Then on time at 9 o’clock there was the next information: Start at 11 o’clock.
Now, nevertheless, a little hectic rush broke out, we shot in the car and went in the direction of airport. In the last filling station we had some problems with refuelling once more, however, created it and reached the airport at 10 o’clock. After we had reinsured ourselves the day before with procoach over again, we parked the car as agreed at the airport and left it open with key in the glove compartment.
Then we checked in before the big chaos began. Since many people from our hotel who had also booked the same package like us died everybody only by the coach 10:30 o’clock and even later in. Therefore, very fast time of 11:00 o’clock was shifted the Boarding to 11:30 o’clock. Though at the airport was wrong a lot, but the complete chaos was missing. Probably on account of that which had informed the Icelandair the hotel and the news service on time.
Absolutely quietly and casually there stood the Icelandic staff at the airport, checked in many people and made the security cheque. One clearly felt that the Icelanders can be impressed by a volcano eruption not really.
Finally, at 12:15 o’clock we started and flew first of all in the deep flight on the sea to fly through under the cinder cloud. However, the deep flight was with some turbulence, but the remaining flight was peaceful.
At the airport in Frankfurt with 5 hours of delay landed we caught our luggage and waited for the shuttle which should bring us again to the car. The same man like the last year fetched us, asked for the flight and meant: “We have worried to ourselves already about you.”, I found this then also very nice.
Because we had booked the parking bay only till 12 o’clock, we did not know whether we still had to pay half a day. But no such thing was. As already with procoach we had to pay for the delay generally nothing.

Iceland - March 2010 - Part 2

The day began with cloudless sky and sunshine. We had slept on the beds very well and thus we proceeded well recovered and slept off to the breakfast refreshment bar. Beside cheese, sausage, muesli, fruit, vegetables, bread, toast and biscuits there was also small sausage, eggs, beans and other delicacies. So everything what desires the heart. I can really recommend to all the in Icelandic sandwich bread, often also as a wholemeal bread. Much better than our German toast tastes it.
Then at 11 o’clock we started to Thingvellir. In addition we drove on the ring road first of all a piece to the north direction Akureyri.
And very fast, after we had the active activity in Reykjavik behind ourselves, we found out Iceland again in his so wonderful kind. Strong colours of the nature, unbelievable width and only seldom cars on the streets. Shortly before Thingvellir we stoped on a parking bay in which one could enquire on big boards about the area. And: absolut silence. Not to compare with Germany. Even in the wood it still is too loudly. Here one heard only his blood rushing in the ears and the gentle wind breeze. A silence which many people do not manage, however, we enjoyed it.
On the edge of the Thingvellir national park we stopped first of all in a small bistro and bought something to drinking. Also here travellers can find out some informations about the area on the basis of data and maps.

In the a little bit hidden waterfall we made the first hold and spent there more than 1 hour. Just are astonished, to the water masses listen in and feel the energy of the nature. Also here we had again sunshine, pleasant temperatures and above all: No human soul except us. Only when we proceeded again on the way to the car, we bumped into person.
Not far from the waterfall remotely we stopped once more and now walked in there where one could see the continental records. At this important place not only public gatherings were held, but also were directed. Signs with historical data explain very well into Icelandic and English most important from the first sight. An impressive place, situated in the wonderful, big lake Thingvallavatn.

Then we went on the street 36 of wide direction Selfoss, past the holiday-home area of the last year. In hope to see again two sweet horses of the last year we turned in a small street after “borer fur”. Unfortunately, the horses were not there, however, we found on on the street 35 direction Selfoss a big herd with some mares and one-year-old foals. These came immediately here galloped and cuddled hard us. This was for me personally again one of the nicest and beeindruckensten moments in Iceland. These wonderful beings with her so wild and at the same time meek eyes travel me over and over again from the normal life.
Along Selfoss we went on 34 further in the small place Eyrarbrakki directly by the sea. Also here we had already made the last year hold. Once more we enjoyed the coloured, small small houses. Icelanders really have courage to the colour and decorate her houses very often with roofs in strong colours and also the outside colour is often well formed in colour.
Then we still stopped in Porlakshöfn. From here the ferry starts to the west man’s islands. Because it was very windy, nevertheless, in the meantime, and cold, we rested only briefly and went about a small passport back to Reykjavik.

Iceland - March 2010 - Part 1

After our guinea pigs stayed by my parents, we drove on Steffens birthday at 9 o’clock on time  to Frankfurt. On account of the good experience we also brought  the car to Airportparker. From here we were driven with the shuttle bus directly next to the terminal.

Before the counter of Icelandair a small queue had already formed. So we waited patiently, checked in and after the security cheque we were, finally, in the airplan which started on time around 11:40 p.m.

We sat  in the last row and had 3 places for ourselves alone. And because of Steffens birthday, we ordered to ourselves champagne and a sandwich, “Samloka”, an Icelandic sandwich. Over the clouds we pushed so over again on Steffens birthday and let it go well during the flight. Of the male stewardess looked after us also very well and on account of the additional place offer we could also hold a small, comfortable nap.
On time around 4.15 p.m. we landed in Keflavik. There we were fetched at a nice, young Icelander who brought us to the hired car office, 4 minutes of the airport remotely. The office was directly beside the motel with which we had already received our key and the bedclothes for the summer cottage the last year.
The Icelanders were very friendly and immediately we experienced the relaxed and calm kind of the Icelandic people. Since when the Icelander explained to us how the return of the carriage should occur, nevertheless, we were amazed a little bit. „You park the carriage directly at the airport at P3 and lay the key simply in the glove compartment.”
OK, so we accepted the small black car. A Hyundai 10i, felt 40 PS in black. Nevertheless, anyhow I have fallen in love immediately with the little one and it really gave pleasure to go between all gigantic cars in Iceland with this small car.

Now on the ring road we went by the black lava scenery which was covered by green lichens and shone in the sun. Since as already two times before we had again nice weather and pleasant 5 ° C.
We found the Icelandair hotel “Loftleidir” about some detours. Nevertheless, was due to the fact not that the hotel stood somewhere apart (but directly at the home airport in Reykjavik), but that the construction logic of the capital was not so really clear and, moreover, the town plan wasn’t good to read and not actual.
After the checking in the next, from me arranged surprise for Steffen: In the room we found a champagne cooler with ice and a bottle of prosecco and two champagne glasses. The friendly hotel manager of the hotel let on account of my inquiry arrange this immediately.
After a short break at the hotel  then we went  in the city centre. Here we have dinner in in the nice restaurant of the last year, in the middle of the Old Town, and took pleasure in the Icelandic culture. Moreover, we had to find out pleased that it was light in Iceland in March already till 8 p.m in the evening.
We let the evening then at the hotel end with champagne.

A report about day 2 following soon.

Glückliche Pferde in Island

In Island gibt es sehr viele noch freilebende Islandpferde. Und selbst die Pferde, die jemandem gehören, werden fast das ganze Jahr über draußen halbwild gehalten. In großen Herdenverbänden mit mehreren Stuten, Fohlen und Hengsten lebend haben diese Pferde ein paradisisches Leben.

Während unseres Urlaubs dort konnten wir sehr viele Pferde sehen und auch näher erleben. Doch was mich bei jedem Pferd beeindruckt hat ist, dass sie zwar wild leben, aber trotzdem den Menschen als Freund ansehen und sehr gerne näher kommen, um sich streicheln zu lassen.

Besonders beeindruckt hat mich eine Stute, besser gesagt ihre Augen. Ich habe noch nie so einen Ausdruck in den Augen eines Pferdes bei uns gesehen. Wildheit, Freude, Glück und dabei eine wahnsinnige Ruhe. Diese Augen zogen mich sehr lange in den Bann.

Diesen Ausdruck konnte ich bei sehr vielen Pferden wahrnehmen. Unglaublich verspielt, frech und neugierig. Nicht umsonst sind diese Pferde dem Isländer das wichtigste. Seit es in Island Menschen dienen Pferde ihm als treue Begleiter, die nervenstark und zuverlässig jeden durchs Hochland bringen. Man spürt die Zuneigung der Isländer zu ihren Pferden. Außerdem sorgen sie auch dafür, das diese wundervolle Rasse so bleibt wie sie ist. Wenn ein Islandpferd das Land verlässt, darf es nie wieder zurückkehren. Genauso wie kein anderes Pferd nach Island kommen darf.

Es ist faszinierend zu sehen, wie Mensch und Tier Freunde sind und sich respektieren. Wie sie zum einen zusammen arbeiten, zum anderen die Tiere jedoch völlig frei leben dürfen.

Wenn Sie nach Island kommen und eine Herde an der Straße sehen, nehmen Sie sich die Zeit um kurz bei den Pferden zu verweilen, sie zu beobachten, sie vielleicht zu streicheln. Sie werden fasziniert sein über diese wunderbaren Geschöpfe.

Island

Von Kind an hatte ich einen Traum. Ich wollte nach Island. Ich weiß nicht mehr warum mich schon als Kind dieses Land so fasziniert hat, doch die Sehnsucht war von sehr Klein an da. Und letztes Jahr im Sommer machte ich den Traum war.

Ich kann nicht in Worte fassen, wie wunderschön dieses Land ist und welche Gefühle es in mir auslöste. Faszination, Ehrfurcht, Liebe, Freude, Glück.

Island, das Land aus Feuer und Eis, hat sehr viel zu bieten. Aber vor allem viel unberührte und wunderschöne Natur. Frei lebende Schafe und Pferde, Geysire und Vulkane, Wasserfälle und heiße Quellen, wüstenartige Gegenden und üppige Weiden. Berauschend war die enorme Energie, die man in Island spürt. Und ich habe noch nie solche intensive Farben in der Natur gesehen wie in Island.

Die Menschen dort sind der Natur noch sehr verbunden, sie achten und respektieren sie und leben mit ihr. Wenn ein Lavestrom eine Straße zerstört bauen Sie einfach eine neue. Wenn eine Brücke durch den reißenden Fluss abgerissen wird, wird eine neue gebaut. Man kennt und achtet die Natur und ihre Zeichen.

Gefahr droht nur von außen. Menschen die in Island Profit machen wollen und dafür auch die Natur zerstören. Ich kann nur hoffen, dass die Isländer den Raubbau an der Natur nicht weiter zulassen und dagegen ankämpfen. Denn dieses wundervolle und beeindruckende Land soll auch weiterhin so wunderschön bleiben, wie es ist.

Reisen Sie einmal nach Island und spüren sie die Natur und die Energie die dort herrscht. Sie werden eine innere Freude erleben wie nie zuvor.

Ein sehr beeindruckender und schöner Film ist der von Stefan Erdmann. Wir durften Ihn bereits persönlich auf einem seiner Filmvorträge kennen lernen und es ist interessanter Mensch, der es wie kein anderer versteht, die Faszination Island in Bilder und auch Worte zu packen. Überzeugen Sie sich selbst davon. Es lohnt sich!
