Great - Car broke down and raining my ass off.....



Great day in Mývatn

In Mývatn I spent a lot of time. What a beautifull place. Mývatn and Skaftafell is my favorite places after this trip. So I drove all around Mývatn, following the sun and the light and shadow thing. Great to have finaly sun and no rain. Walked about 10 km, to Dimmuborgir, up to Hverfell and and many small places. If I would have more time I had spend 1-2 more days there, so crazy plase. Insted I drove to Húsavík. There I met my friend from Italy and France, guys that I drove to Egilsstaðir. From Húsavík id drove to Akureyri where I am now. Geting me ready to keep going and mabe just go to Reykjavík and finish my trip. Distans to Reykjavík is 381 km.
Now I have drive 1758 km so far.
Weather is ok, not raining, but alot of clouds and no wind.
See u later

Report 04.08. 2009


From Ásbyrgi I drove a nother gravel road and my destination was Mývatn. This two roads to and from Ásbyrgi was made in hell, but ofcourse this is 4x4 jeep road and u can chose another better road to Ásbyrgi ofcourse. On my way I went to see alot of intresting places like Karl og Kerling, Dettifoss, Selfoss. More information later about this places.
Rain, rain and more rain. When I was in Dettifoss I wait in my car for about 15 min, then the big gray sky had empty the watertank I went out to take photos, still in a rain... hehe. Great waterfalls there and amazing atmosphere. When the nature is so big, powerfull, and just overwhelming I get strange feeling, like not save and unsecure. get stressed because of the landscape. Really strange and I dont fell good but great, beautifull place and I would go there again. So much power there.
Drive along and took alot of pictures, have taken over 24 mb of photos. And later on Im going to put final image later here with more informations about this places that I have visiting.
After driving this endless gravel road, I finally came on a main road to Mývatn. There was a few people going on horses and took amazing photos there.
I came to Myvatn about 21:00 and this is so beautifull. Wooowww. Going to sleep here and next day Im going to photograph many intresting things around here. I just l
ove this place. My favorite so on.
Next trip from Mývatn in to Akureyri.

SIT, AND STAY THERE !
Well trained horse, just lik my dog.


Rainman - 8 days with just rain.

Report - 03.08.2009

In Egilsstaðir I drove around the place. Nice place. This is where we have our forrest in Iceland and also where Kárahnjúkar. Biggest hydropower damn here in Iceland. Went there and on the outside its nothing special, big, but nothing more than that. The everything was closed there so I couldn go inside the damn where the things are going on and mabe more catchy things. At least I have seen it. The people, most foreigner, who build it should have award for it in this dangerous and hard conditions.
After that I went to Hallormsstaðarskógur. Yes, we have a forrest here in Iceland, and back to Egilsstaðir, whent to small swimmingpool there, took a few photos and on the road again to my next destination. The trip whent from Egilsstaðir to Ásbyrgi. The road to Ásbyrgi is terrible to drive. Throug the years I have heard people talking about this place. Ok beautyfull place but for me I thing nothing speciall, but mabe I have to search and walk more in the area.

Driving in rain to Ásbyrgi, but got sun for a 5 min and alot of rain. I have been in wet clothes all the time..... nice :)
