If ever you thought life was different here, you were wrong. Really?? Well, you decide. Most of the comments to the pictures are written in English, some of them in Flemish, and a few words here and there in Icelandic. Just to throw you off.

Trying to see salmon jumping up the waterfall. Steingerdur didn�t see any, Jonatan saw three! Posted by Picasa


Ofaerufoss: in the middle of Iceland, after negotiating bad roads, crossing some streams (no bridges!) and walking in fog and rain, we finally got there. The scenery on the way was beautiful though, we did have some spells of sunshine - and the company was fine...  Posted by Picasa
