What a mazing time - true or story, mabe just true story

.... But for me its more like ToyStory where I can play with my camera and the nature. To do something like this is more than talk. Thats for sure. Im so tired now that I dont have energy to put photos and tell the story about my trip today and all the drama, so tomorrow when I wake up Im going to tell u all about it.

New day, new hope.

Whats going on in the kitchen ? Húff. What a drama. It looks like I should not go thist trip because of all the trouble that I had to survive. The carS problem are just one of many, many things that have gone wrong. But forget that. Here I am, at Seljalandsfoss. My systers husband came and saves my ass when the car broked down. He have also let me have this cars to travel around Iceland. He fixed the car and Im on the road again. As happy as I can, but we have to see how long I can go. If I can go my trip in this or other car Im ready to do what ever u whant for a week. :) Just say it, and I do it Just like in a excited story. Time now is 5:00 AM and Im full of energy, have been photographing alitle bit. But I think I have to go and sleep, just a nap. Looking forward to next day and all the drama and the trouble that are going to follow me. What is that.
This is my favorite place in Iceland. So if I can go somewhere else in Iceland on this car, it is competition between this place and some other more beautiful.

P.S. Have been raining, very windy and cold last 2 days, ok but ....
.... hey boring weather and all this trouble, who should I pay for a little help ?

Seljalandsfoss

Alone in the darkness

Im in trouble !!

My car Toyota Hiace is heating the engine to much so I dont know how far I can go. Im cooling the car down now, then putting more water and then go to Keflavik to let someone check my car.
What the f........
Looks like Im not going around Iceland.

First day over, and big surprise

day 1 - 27 july 2009 at EveryTrail

Map created by EveryTrail: Travel Community



I start my trip around 19:00 yesterday and was going to drive about 330 km but I didnt. :)I just drove 96,9 km and are still close to Reykjavik after one day. hehe

Im sleppt in Garður, Garðskagaviti. Whent to sleep about 04:00 because I was walking at the lighthouse Garðskagaviti and takeing photos. Situatition: Really dark, much wind and mabe 4-5°C. So when I was takeing photo there I saw something on the left, something moving. I start to look, hard to see anything there because of the night. But there was a seal. Small, beautiful seal. I started to take photos and when I walked down tothe sea and wasabout 1 meter from the seal I saw that he was trapped in a fishing net, around him, so he was gona die if I didnt do anything. The darkness and mud there make that realy hard for me, doing it alone. So I called the police and ask for help. After 3 calls and 3 hours later they finaly came but the seal was gone. I just think, thanx for that I was not trapped in this net. I would be dead now. So I stopped here, Garður, and sleep well. When I wake up I check the sea but no seal. So now Im going somewhere else. Picture coming later.

16:30 Im going

one and half hour and Im driving around Iceland. Imagine that. Plan that I have been thinking about for many years, and now its happening. How happy and lucky can I be.
Try to put something on the net tonight :)

Little late but now im on the road, 19:00. Bought a harmonica so Im ready :)

P.S. Great if u would leave a comment on my blog if u visit.

Almost gonner.

Day 1

Powered by EveryTrail: GPS Trip Sharing with Google Maps

So today I got rent some equipments that I have to use in my trip. So I just need one BIG thing, GPS. I buy it to morrow.

But u can see how I have plan my day 1, tomorrow, if everything works, hopefully.
I have put almost everything in my car and are almost ready. It looks like Im not coming back or are going to stay for months.... hehehe. But Im going to finish my circle, if I have to finish it on my fuc...... finger, thumbs up, think I would do it.
O men, Im so scared and so happy and everything to go. Just go and start the trip. Old dream coming true, blue.

My first video is now here on right side. So if everything is working while Im traveling u are going to see more of short videos and photos.

Tomorrow is also the big earthquake day like I told before.

P.S. Whent to Whale whatching today. That was ok, but not something special.

Nothing is working :)

Alot of trouble have been going on.

Yesterday everything was happening. I have been driving on this Toyota Hiace that I took picture of for a while, but yesterday he stopped charging the battery. And when I tryed to fix the problem the result was that the alternator was not working and it is hell to chance it in this type of car. So...
... But I know alot of good people, especially my family, and I got another Hiace, also red, disel that are much better, and also better to drive this new car. So I took the bed out af the old Hiace and mixed it into the new one. Not perfect but its ok like the video that im making now show u :).
Yepp the first video are going to the net and maybe my first video where Im talking. And that was difficult to make the first video of me talking to the camera but when I have made one or two more videos its gona be easyer.

Lot of things that I still have to do. And the most important thing that I have to do is getting another GPS.

I have been with my son, Breki, last 2 weeks and the last day is tomorrow so the plan is go together on whale watching. So tomorrow Breki is going to his mom for next 2 weeks and Im going around Iceland. Yeaaa.

Thanks alot everybody that have helped me. U know who Im talking about. And special thx to Jamil and my mom and dad.a

3 days and Im gone

Hmmm... Lot of things have been going on today. My car Hiace started to show some red light in dashboard. Not good, something wrong with the battery or like he is not chargeing. But tomorrow Im going to find out what the problem is.
I have been trying to get the GPS Magellan to work with my computer but still nothing work. I cant export my rout and GPS points to Magellan. So... Mabe I can borrow another GPS, Garmin, tomorrow. Hope so, at least try it to see if that GPS is working and want talk to my computer.
Just trouble but that is just how things work. More stress, just better. :)

But to another thing. One medium here in Iceland have predict a big, massive earthquake on 27. july. Same day that Im going to start my trip, south side of Iceland. And she think its gona be 23:15 that day. Big, she are talking about earthquake that are between 4-6 richter. If its true then its bad time, lot of people sleeping. But we will see. Not that we here in Iceland are not used to have earthquake. U can check this site. Shaken not stirred !
Hey, but no panic !
Here are the icelandic article about it.

Great day

Today I went to Njarðvík visiting my friend Bára and her family and borrowed GPS Navigator. Really sunny day, 22° C and had amazing time there, just relax and they made a great dinner. Thx alot for the day.
When I came back to Reykjavik I went to another friends, Ási and Siggi. Siggi fixed my computer so now everything is on schedule, almost. And again thx alot for your helps guys.
